The Apprentice

Rate this book
The safest place they have ever known is crumbling apart.

River Ward just wanted to live a simple life with his mentor, away from the overbearing Sorcerers Guild and angered fanatics. Yet the arrival of her new prodigious apprentice, Skye Arkwright, shattered all semblance of comfort and a fierce rivalry rocked their once quiet routine.

But when the Emerald of Cinisia weakens, their power grows unstable, and Sorcerers across the continent fall into a deadly slumber. On the run from zealots, a hired hunter, and predatory creatures; River and Skye risk traversing the uninhabited mountains beyond the walls of the city to find the Guild’s elusive headquarter in search of a cure. If they fail, their power will be lost for good.

Time is running out for the apprentices; can they work together to save their mentor and their Sorcery?

E. K. Cross

~ a writer who enjoys reading in her spare time.

In pursuing a love of storytelling, E. K. Cross earned a Master's in Writing and worked various part-time jobs; though she never stopped dreaming of achieving her lifelong goal of becoming a storyteller. Now she is a published author of a debut fantasy trilogy and a Pulp Idol finalist.​​

Though her work specialises in the realms of magical realism and fiction writing, she is keen to experiment with other genres, because every story is worth sharing.​

When she is not devouring a new book, she can be found daydreaming of new stories to share, busing herself with a variety of hobbies, or at the computer exploring imaginary worlds with a feline familiar at her side.
