The Blacksmith's Circus : Volumes 1 & 2

[Ten years since the publication of the first installment of the Circo del Herrero/The Blacksmith’s Circus series and in anticipation of the third and final comes this combined edition containing The Automation and its alembic sequel The Pre-programming.]


A circus so entertaining even the gods wish to join…

The god of metallurgy, fire, and alchemy has many names and many faces—sometimes Hephaestus, Ptah, or Vulcan. He changes to suit his needs. And just like his names, his creations have gone through countless revisions. This time, he’s finally on to something—his Automata have turned the heads of other gods. There’s a reason he didn’t scrap the Automata—a reason he left them in the care of humans all this time. They were just the beta testers for his most intricate windup toy yet.
