A Short Story Prequel to the Spellsmith & Carver Trilogy A broken rule, a mechanical fox, and missing chickens ... student magician Jericho Carver's life just got a lot more complicated. Jericho loves his work in Master Spellsmith's shop, learning simple spells and watching the master complete more complex magic. However, when he finds out the master's daughter, Rill, is forbidden from learning the craft for seemingly arbitrary reasons, his sense of fair play won't stand for it. Even if it means sneaking behind the master he respects, he'll have to right the wrong. However, this small act of kindness makes him Rill's honorary protector. When Rill's beloved bronze fox, Jaspyr, is accused of chicken thievery, Jericho steps up to save the day. But something more menacing than foxes dwells in the nearby woods. Something that might take more magic to deal with than Jericho possesses.

An estranged son. An adopted heir. A magical attack that forces them to work together. The disappearance of Auric Spellsmith’s mother has strained his relationship with his father to the breaking point. Now, after five years away at the Magicians’ Academy, Auric returns home, determined to prove himself to his father and claim his birthright. Apprentice Jericho Carver has held Spellsmith Manor together in Auric’s absence. Now his master’s son is back, and if he can’t get rid of Auric, Jericho will forfeit his career and lose all hope of wooing the master’s enchanting daughter. Neither man intends to back down. But then Master Spellsmith vanishes into the mysterious Fey Lands. With Fey magic threatening the mortal realm, Auric and Jericho must work together to save the man they both see as father.

Auric Spellsmith and Jericho Carver saved the world—but the world is less than pleased. Accused of causing a magical energy crisis and of “conduct unbefitting magicians,” the pair travels to the big city to defend their case, Rill and Jaspyr in tow. But they soon find themselves embroiled in a world where everyone has an ulterior motive. Politics are a web of deception, more dangerous than Fey magic. Then Auric discovers Lotta, an attractive but eccentric engineer whose invention could solve the Republic’s energy crisis—if they can survive long enough to test her theories. The mysterious assassin who is after her now hunts Auric and Jericho too. At odds with the law and criminals alike, Spellsmith and Carver will need every drop of wit and magic to survive.

Auric Spellsmith and Jericho Carver forged a friendship through fire. Now they face a new enemy: a being from the Fey Realms who threatens their friendship as well as the life of one they both love. The loss of his father leaves Auric reeling even as Jericho and his wife Rill are overwhelmed by the arrival of twins. When a mysterious Fey begins abducting local children, Spellsmith and Carver prepare for a full-on assault. An attack close to home drives a sudden wedge between Jericho and Rill. With his friend's heart and confidence shattered, Auric steps up to defend their fractured family. Time's running out to save the stolen children, and the family must rally together to stop the Fey predator. But the cost might be Rill's very soul.

Jericho Carver has fought evil fairies and defeated dragons. He never expected his greatest challenge to be finding the perfect anniversary gift for his beloved wife. Ten years of marriage merits something flashy and fantastic. At least that's what Jericho's brother-in-law says. Jericho Carver has never been a flashy sort of guy, but to give his wife the magical anniversary she deserves, he will pull out all the stops. What could possibly go wrong? A companion short story to the Spellsmith & Carver Gaslamp Fantasy Series.

Academy trained Auric Spellsmith and small town apprentice Jericho Carver couldn't be more different, but that doesn't stop them from wanting the same thing. When Auric left his rural home and his father's magic shop to study with the great magicians of the republic, he never expected to be replaced, let alone by the barely educated nephew of the local carpenter. Returning home to find his rightful inheritance in jeopardy—and his beloved baby sister flirting with his new rival—Auric knows he has to prove to his father that he's the better magician—and the better man. Jericho scratched his way out of poverty and abuse, and he's not going to let some bookish city boy send him running back to his boards and hammers. With his future, and his ability to court the woman of his dreams, at stake, he's ready to play dirty ... or at least sit back and let the impulsive and temperamental Auric set himself on fire trying to do basic magic Jericho could do with his eyes closed. Their rivalry might burn Spellsmith Manor down around them ... or it might prove the key to unlocking a long held family secret and saving a world that doesn't even realize it's in danger. A three book gaslamp fantasy series with friendship, humor, and adventure, Spellsmith & Carver takes the Buddy Comedy to magical new heights. This collection includes all three books of the series plus two additional short stories.
