About this ebook

Can a man fashion justice as he would a clock?

Cast out of the craft hall in his prime and bitter from his many losses, a blind artificer has taken on an apprentice to make what he no longer can: a device that will enter him into the Grand Competition. 

But does the artificer even want to win? Or does he only care about revenge? And will that be enough? 

The Artificer’s Apprentice is a short story set in a medieval city where magic and technology blend seamlessly and where the Artificer guilds make handsome profits keeping the city's systems running. The leaders of these guilds 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...

Ratings and reviews

The Artificers's Apprentice is well written and leaves you with a longing for more of the Artificer and his son's story. For a short story it really engages you like a much longer thriller where you have to keep reading. Even though the devices used by the Artificer are unknown before you read this book. The author gives you enough understanding of what each device does so it makes sense and you can continue reading without pause.

About the author

DJ Edwardson was born on the west coast, raised in the midwest, and currently lives in the southern part of the United States. He also lived for a time in the northeast after college as well as in Central America (he's fluent in Spanish) so he's covered a lot of ground in his short life. A multi-faceted artist, DJ also dabbles in digital art and plays acoustic guitar in his spare time. 

His favorite authors are J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. He likes to think that authors who use their initials are better writers but he can't actually prove it. Although much of what he writes falls in the Science Fiction and Fantasy genres, he likes to call his work "imaginative" fiction and often incorporates elements from multiple genres. He is currently at work on the second book in his series, The Chronotrace Sequence, due out in the second half of 2013.
