Astrid constantly worries about her place
in the village of Guell. She loves being
the apprentice of Guell’s blacksmith, Temple.
But Temple bought her from a childseller many years ago, which means
Astrid has no blood kin in Guell. If
anything should happen to Temple she’s likely to lose her home, her work, and
her sweetheart, DiStephan, the dragonslayer’s son.
One day Astrid’s worst fear comes true when
Temple and DiStephan fail to return from a short journey to a nearby
village. A teenage boy named Finehurst
arrives in Guell, claiming to be Temple’s nephew and rightful heir – and
insisting that he saw Temple and DiStephan killed by a dragon. The villagers are divided in their opinion of
Finehurst, but Astrid is soon thrown out of her own home, desperate to find a
way to regain it. Before the
dragonslayer goes in search of his missing son DiStephan and Astrid’s mentor
Temple, he sets forth a challenge for Finehurst and Astrid to prove their
blacksmithing skills by forging a dagger.
Normally, Astrid would be confident, but the village’s iron supplies are
so low that she doesn’t know how she can possibly make a dagger that can prove
her worth.
