Astrid, The Dragonslayer’s Blacksmith
is a standalone novella in the Dragonslayer world.
Astrid constantly worries about her place in the village of Guell. She loves
being the apprentice of Guell’s blacksmith, Temple. But Temple bought her
from a childseller many years ago, which means Astrid has no blood kin in Guell.
If anything should happen to Temple she’s likely to lose her home, her work,
and her sweetheart, DiStephan, the dragonslayer’s son.
One day Astrid’s worst fear comes true when Temple and DiStephan fail to
return from a short journey to a nearby village. A teenage boy named Finehurst
arrives in Guell, claiming to be Temple’s nephew and rightful heir – and insisting
that he saw Temple and DiStephan killed by a dragon. The villagers are divided
in their opinion of Finehurst, but Astrid is soon thrown out of her own home,
desperate to find a way to regain it. Before the dragonslayer goes in search of
his missing son DiStephan and Astrid’s mentor Temple, he sets forth a challenge
for Finehurst and Astrid to prove their blacksmithing skills by forging a dagger.
Normally, Astrid would be confident, but the village’s iron supplies are so low that
she doesn’t know how she can possibly make a dagger that can prove her worth.
