Want to dip your toes in a medieval fantasy
world where women are strong and brave? This mini novel sweeps you into the realm of Resa
Nelson’s 4-book Dragonslayer series where you can meet the characters and get a
taste of what the series is like. Already
read the Dragonslayer series? No
worries! This is an ALL NEW mini
novel that tells a new and complete story about Astrid! Here’s what it’s about …
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.
Astrid, The Dragonslayer’s Blacksmith is an all new mini novel that takes place in Resa Nelson’s Dragonslayer world (the 4-book series includes The Dragonslayer’s Sword, The Iron Maiden, The Stone of Darkness, and The Dragon’s Egg). Appropriate for adults and teens, ages 14 and up.
