The Blacksmith's Apprentice is the story of one boy's quest to learn the art of blacksmithing. When high school student Max James was tasked with learning a new skill for his Middle Years Project at San Diego High School, he immediately knew what he wanted to do. The sixteen year-old, who has cerebral palsy, fences competitively, and dreams of someday forging his own sword, wanted to learn the craft of blacksmithing.

She survived a trial year at the Academy, but that was just the easy part.... Now 16-year-old Ryiah is an apprentice of Combat, her school's most notorious faction of magic. When she finishes she will be a mage, but in order to do so she has to survive four years with a training master she hates and her old nemesis, Priscilla. To make matters worse the unwanted attraction Ry feels for her sometimes-friend-sometimes-rival Prince Darren is at an all-time high - even though he is betrothed to the very girl she can't stand. Really, the only bright spot to Ryiah's new life is the time she spends with her friends, including an older apprentice named Ian, who she finds herself thinking about quite often. Just when things start to get comfortable they take a turn for the worse. An apprentice is killed in a rebel attack and several mages end up dead. Unwittingly, the apprentices find themselves in the midst of a budding unrest between Jerar and its northern neighbor, Caltoth. For Ryiah the impending conflict means many things, but as her apprenticeship draws to a close she finds her biggest problem at home. Unfortunately for her, Darren's not going anywhere.

Ring, ring, ping, ping, all day long.In a village, long ago, young Catherine loves to hear the hammering from Andre the blacksmith's shop — ring, ring, ping, ping, all day long. She yearns to become his apprentice to learn the trade, but father says, "It's not really a trade for young women." That doesn't stop Catherine, who isn't afraid of tradition or hard work.Catherine had the most important tools in her toolkit even before her first day: patience, persistance, a passion for learning and a dream to follow. No doubt she will become — like Dorothy Steigler, Elizabeth Brim and Lorelei Sims — a fine blacksmith, who just happens to be a woman. As in the Robert Frost poem, two roads diverged and she took the one less travelled by, and that has made all the difference. — Rory MacKay, amateur blacksmith
