Description

Aedelbert Starken shapes stone, not magic. Or so he thinks.The town of Garmouth depends on the mines for life. Aedelbert comes to the city with his partner Caedda Quaedel in order to build three new smelters for the ore. Aedelbert and Caedda, master stone-cutters, just want to work, collect their wages, and move to the next job. Nothing more or less.To their chagrin, building smelters and training an apprentice pose the least of their problems. A noble with a grudge threatens the mines and the city, leading to a race between the men of Garmouth and the mines, the noble, and the forces of ice and water. Aedelbert wants nothing to do with any of it. The Scavenger, however, has other ideas. And what He gives, He can also reclaim...67,000 words. Read more

    • An excellent addition to the series
This book takes a different approach to the Empire and Magic series, and adds some interesting twists to the major themes. The books in the series are all based on the history of the Holy Roman Empire, and provide and good glimpse of major and everyday events. This is a painless and enjoyable way to pick up some background and then follow the links into history. The characters are very well defined, acting as one would expect, and the dialogue is perfect for tradesmen and townfolk. It’s an easy read, with thrilling and comic moments, and comes to an interesting finale. The story focuses on two stonecutters and their apprentice, and they build a new smelter for miners operating the Scavenger’s Gift and other promising mines. Unfortunately for them, a local baron has realized that affair amount of wealth is now passing literally over the mountain from him, and has decided to usurp, er, exert long-forgotten privileges to bring the miners and their wealth under his thumb and revenue collectors. The inhabitants of Garmouth, with some advice from the stonecutters, decide to petition the Emperor for Free City status, and hope to get an answer before the baron literally drags down the walls around their ears. Aedelbert and Caedda (The stonecutters) have a series of continuing everyday events, in addition to worrying about the baron. They need their pay to live on, or at least to get credit extended; a widow woman pursues a feud with one, over a forest dispute involving his brother decades ago; and a set of incidents involving a farmer’s daughter, a great-hauler, and the farmer (no, not THAT story). More worrisome to both of them, the stone they work with begins acting peculiar under their hands. They are able to handle it and see cracks and grain far too easily for plain miners. They get headaches after intense work and stone cutting, and react badly to side jobs in the mines. As the Imperial progress approaches to answer the town’s petition, the baron decides to risk an attack and eliminate the problem (and petitioners). Using pre-set spells like artillery or sappers, the baron tries to destroy the town walls and leave them helpless. Adelbert and Caedda do something to stop the magical attacks, but attract attention from unexpected sources: the Emperor is unhappy, but they face judgement by the Scavenger himself. Their “punishment” for courageous work is unique, but under the eyes of their dark god. ... show more

    • Adds more to the Merchant and Empire universe
As always with Ms Boykin this is an entertaining and well written story. This also takes an entertaining look at what if magic did exist, what if the gods were real and there might be immediate repercussions for not respecting them and in this stories case what happens if new types of magic are continually being seen for the first time. The author does a great job of being consistent with the other books of the series so there are no glaring dichotomies with the other stories. Well done. ... show more

    • life of miners in the Boykin universe
Gives you a view of how people coped somewhat in the roman and medieval times and a blue print of how the free cities in medieval times evolved. However not much happens, too much description of the technical side of building smelters and mine tunnel. still I would get the book

    • Expansion of the Merchant and Magic world
The more I read of this world, the better I understand the well drawn characters, their situations, and their challenges. A good read. Recommended. Almost a stand alone, though reading the first few books before this one would help.

    • Another great mixing of history and fantasy
I really enjoyed this book. Knowing a little bit about mining, metallurgy and the people who work in those fields, our hero was someone I could relate to. This whole series has been filled with "regular" people being thrust in to insane situations and they react by doing what they know and doing what they know to be right. I love this series. ... show more

    • Addictive
I liked the characters. I liked reading about the social and political situations the characters found themselves involved in and how they resolved or how they learned to live with their problems. I liked how the author touched religion and the gods as something to be both revered and feared. I went back and read the whole series and some of her other books. ... show more
