The Magesmith Book 1

More about the book

One Bo is a Magesmith, a craftsperson who uses hot magic to shape metal, while Eg is an adventurous apprentice sheep butcher. Their lives change dramatically when the townspeople sacrifice Bo to a monster, leading them on a journey through time and space. The Magesmith series spans various eras, from pre-human times to the Minoan era, the Middle Ages, and a future where humans colonize Jupiter's moons. Viking Kite stories, crafted by English-Swedish writers Andy Coombs and Sarah Scho, celebrate Scandinavia's progressive values surrounding gender, race, identity, and social fairness. With over 40 published works and a million copies sold in Sweden, they have been influential educators for two decades. Their stories, now available globally, include 23 tales aimed at MG and YA audiences, featuring themes from alien angels to time-traveling Romans, and exploring topics like bullying, friendship, personal identity, and ancient tribes. The Viking Kite collection encompasses three exciting themes: Strange Life, which delves into identity and social issues; Different Minds, which examines evolution and animal consciousness; and Shadow Side, presenting darker narratives involving neglect, inner rage, and loss, alongside unexpected monsters and ghosts.
