Book Info

Age Group: 14 years and up

Summary:
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.

Excerpt/First Sentence(s):
Shapeshifting required time, focus, and thought. Hammer in hand and iron on the anvil surface, Astrid delivered rhythmic blows, deliberate enough for accuracy but fast enough to make the most of the short time she had to work this plow blade into its new shape before it lost the proper heat and would need to be put back into the fire. Unlike the iron plow blade, she had the power to keep the shape into which she'd changed earlier this morning: taller, broader chest, larger hands, and more muscled arms.
