The Crafter's Son

Two warring gods. Unusual magic. Can a group of unlikely allies keep the kingdom from falling into dark ruin?
Breeden Andehar doesn't shy away from hard work. The beloved only child of a village boatwright, the introspective sixteen-year-old finds it difficult to explain his growing instinct for the flaws and strengths of metal and wood. And he's stunned when his father arranges for him to be educated at a monastery alongside nobles...
Struggling to feel at home among high-born sons, a bold merchant's daughter, and a rough-around-the-edges orphan, Breeden's world is rocked by the sudden death of the king. And when he and his classmates get caught up in shocking turmoil and scatter on different paths, the doubtful teen learns he might be the key to defeating a gathering evil.
Will he tap into a hidden heritage to defeat an ancient enemy?

"I read a lot of this type of book and really enjoyed the world the author created. Very believable. As mentioned in another review, this book is mostly a beginning to a longer saga. But a very enjoyable beginning. It was well written and well edited. . . . Looking forward to the next book in the series. I would recommend this." "I've read [The Crafter's Son] and it's terrific! [Berg] writes beautifully and, if you love epic fantasy like he obviously does, you will love the story line. Eddings meets Tolkien with some Tad Williams influences as well." "Classic Fantasy . . . Reminded me of fantasy books that I read when I first started out . . . Will buy the 2nd one"
