The Ethersmith

In "The Ethersmith," a pulse-pounding action fantasy, a world grapples with the clash between ancient, forgotten magic and unpredictable new powers. Runesmithing, once the ultimate form of martial skill, has faded into obscurity, its powerful runeswords now dismissed as mere trinkets. This decline occurred with the rise of ethereal spirits, volatile beings that now hold sway over the land. The intricate knowledge of runesmiths vanished, their practitioners ridiculed and cast aside. However, one determined individual refuses to let this ancient craft die. Vivian, an orphan who grew up in the humble surroundings of a smithy, harbors a fervent ambition alongside her adoptive grandfather: to demonstrate that runeswords can regain their status as potent weapons, capable of protecting the realm.
