Andrei is more than just a swordmaker. 

He's a legend.

*All novels in this series are standalones and can be read at anytime*

Members of the legendary silkmaking clan in the Southern Network understand one thing: the clan keeps the Sirilas magic in balance by obedience to its rules, and the Sirilas magic keeps them alive. 

When loyal, steady future Guide to the Clan Andrei Kuzmin finds a sword that stands in his way to ease and prosperity—quite literally—he's shoved out of his stable world and into a new magic. 

A magic that doesn't care about the requirements of the Sirilas magic. 

While Andrei grapples to rid himself of the meddlesome sword, a new foe enters the stage. Alek Popov, High Priest to the Southern Network, a witch hungry for the well-kept secrets of the silkmaking magic. 

Can Andrei keep both magicks happy while forging the path required of him? 

Or will Andrei's faltering loyalty destroy the clan from the very center? 

THE SWORDMAKER is the second novel in the Historical Collection. This thrilling story will sweep you away to the arctic lands of the Southern Network, where magic teems and mysteries abound.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favourite stories in the series

I think I have now read all of her Ankara books and this is my absolute favourite. I couldn’t put it down. I thoroughly enjoyed being introduced to a Southern Clan whose unique magics and setting were fascinating. Learning the story of the Ensis, Andrew The Swordmaker turned a fleeting character in the novels into a fully-fleshed being. Now, to see if Sacha gets a story! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Katie Cross masterfully takes the characters through some difficult decisions that will affect their lives & the lives of their communities. She uses the fantasy genre to examine difficult choices we have to make in real life. I was engrossed in this tale & had a tough time putting it down. Very well written.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow

This book is one of the historical books that help to let readers know more about the world of Alkarra. The intricacies of the different magics are fascinating! The magic finds the witch, not the other way around. Highly recommend as a supplement to the Network series of books by Katie Cross.
