The Magesmith Book 3

Magesmith Bo and Eg




Bo is a Magesmith, a craftsperson who uses hot magic to shape metal. Eg is an apprentice sheep butcher with a taste for adventure. When the towns people turn on Bo and she is sacrificed to a monster, Bo and Eg's lives take a turn through time and space. The Magesmith is a series that spans pre-human times, the Minoan era, the Middle Ages and the far future when humans have colonized the moons of Jupiter. The rest of the Magesmith series is released 2021 and 2022.




The Series




Viking Kite stories are written by English-Swedish writers, Andy Coombs and Sarah Scho - both authors and teachers with more than 40 books published and a million books sold in Sweden. They are the all-time, best-selling educational authors in Scandinavia and live just outside Stockholm in a forest cottage with their little black and white dog, Nimly.



Viking Kite celebrates Scandinavia's progressive approach to gender, race, identity, social fairness and inclusivity. Andy and Sarah have been educating and entertaining Sweden's youth for twenty years - and now, finally, in the Spring of 2021, their stories can be read anywhere in the world. All Swedish/English translations are done by Inger Strömsten.



These 23 stories are aimed at MG and YA and range from alien angels to time travelling Romans. Bullying to the closest friendships. Personal identity and growth, to animal minds and ancient tribes of wild horses.



The Stories




Viking Kite stories take us to alien worlds, the distant past, Neanderthal life, lonely mermaids, lost Valkyrie, hungry vampires and powerful wizards. Genre-spanning and fast-paced. The books are in three exciting genres: Strange Life, Different Minds and Shadow Side.




Strange life stories explore ideas like identity, fitting-in, bullying, family dynamics, and social issues.

Different minds are an exploration of the other; if evolution were a living being what would it say? What is animal consciousness and how would the ancient Romans see us? New ways of thinking; different minds to explore. Empathy. Learning. Imagination.




Shadow side stories are darker in tone. From cheating to parental neglect. Coping with inner rage to ending hatred. Living with death and loss and crime. There are also a few monsters, vampires and ghosts...but not as you might expect.
