Publisher Description
Cast out of the craft hall in his prime and bitter from his many losses, a blind artificer has taken an apprentice to build what he no longer make: a device that he can use to enter the Grand Competition.
But does the artificer even want to win? Or does he only care about revenge? And will that be enough? Can a man fashion justice as he would a clock?
The Artificer’s Apprentice is a short story set in a medieval city where magic and technology blend seemlessly. The leaders of the craft halls seem to have complete control over their members, but one man is about to challenge that authority.
Follow the tale of The Artificer’s Apprentice to see what he shall fashion in his shop...
Customer Reviews
Great writer to watch
"The Artificer's Apprentice" by DJ Edwardson is too short a story to give you a synopsis or a very detailed description or review. It is set in medieval times and the world of mechanic masters. The use of language is skilful and authentic to the extreme and was hugely enjoyable. The plot offers suspense and surprise and - as often with really good short stories - it ended far too soon for my liking. Definitely a writer to watch with enormous talent.
