Leif Craftsman was born to a family of crafters. His father focused on blacksmithing and woodworking while his mother did the weaving and ceramics. Both parents were also enchanters and kept that skill set secret since people in positions of power would force any enchanters they found into servitude or at the least attempt to take advantage of the enchanters' and their skills. Tragedy strikes during Leif's teen years and he is forced to leave his coastal home village. A few years later, Leif heads to the western mountain frontier in an effort to live life his way and to put the past behind. This is a slice of life story with a heavy focus on crafting and enchanting instead of action, though there will be a smidge of action here and there. Some of the crafting will be shown in a fair amount of detail while repeat productions of the initial object will be glossed over. Don't worry, it won't be like reading a tutorial nor do I go into that much detail. The story has the occasional swearing, but nothing excessive. Constant swearing loses the impact of the swear. The story will also hint at sex since Leif is a young man, but will never show any explicit content.

Leif Craftsman has left the capital and continues his journey to the frontier and his new home. Along the way he continues to hone his skills and meet new people eager for his wares. Once Leif reaches the mountains, he finds that he loves the area despite the dangerous beasts that roam it. The crisp mountain air is invigorating and the views touch something in him. He also finds that his farm is in worse shape than he imagined and that help isn't so easy to come by. Still, Leif decides to rebuild the homestead and start working for himself. This book is still filled with crafting and enchanting though the descriptions of crafting are not as in depth as they were in the previous book. There is some violence and fighting, but not much. Leif is a craftsman, not a fighter. If you're looking for a lot of action, you won't find it in this book. It's not that kind of story.
