"...[E. Kaiser Writes] has created a heroine worthy to stand alongside such relatable and spirited female protagonists as Miri from "Princess Academy" and Alanna from "The Song of the Lioness" series." Melika Dannese Lux, British author
When a bookish country lass stumbles onto a court secret while trying to save the princess (and the princess turns out to be in no danger at all) the Chancellor sends her on an apprenticeship to a high mountain jeweler to get her out of the way; but he is unaware that the civil war in the neighboring kingdom is spilling over into the jeweler's house.
Fia Brithin is beginning an adventure.
On her first visit to the palace, 16 year old Fia Brithin stumbles into a court intrigue. To keep the secret safe, the Chancelor sends her off as apprentice to a famous, and reclusive, high mountain jeweler.
...And straight into adventure.
Discovering gems with deep secrets and new friends with the same, Fia learns a whole lot more than just modeling wax. When to trust a stranger, and when not to; why not to try stealing from gem thieves; what heroism is, what royalty ought to be, and that the mountains themselves can sometimes be the greatest danger of all.
The first in a series, Jeweler's Apprentice introduces protagonist Fia Brithin to the wide, wide world, and starts her on a journey toward adventures, and that difficult thing called growing up.
