Taran Elijah's quest for knowledge uncovers a plot that threatens the world....
In Albia, the fourth realm, the precious Artesan gift is dying. Although born to the craft, Taran is struggling to achieve his potential. Against his friends' advice, he embarks on a foolhardy plan to acquire the teaching he craves. Alone, he crosses into Andaryon, the fifth realm, but instead of finding a mentor, he stumbles upon a treacherous plot.
In the wake of Taran's actions, Albia suffers a series of vicious raids, and Major Sullyan of the High King's forces is sent to oppose them. But a dark and treacherous force is moving through the realms, and both Taran and Sullyan will feel its power. Their craft, the lives of their friends, the very existence of their realm are under threat unless they expose and oppose the evil.

Critic reviews
"Cas Peace's Artesans of Albia trilogy immediately sweeps you away: the drama starts with King's Envoy, continues unabated in King's Champion, and climaxes in King's Artesan, yet each volume is complete, satisfying. The Artesan series propels you into a world so deftly written that you see, feel, touch, and even smell each twist and turn. These nesting novels are evocative, hauntingly real. Smart. Powerful. Compelling. The trilogy teems with finely drawn characters, heroes and villains and societies worth knowing; with stories so organic and yet iconic you know you've found another home - in Albia. So start reading now. I, for one, can't wait to find out what will happen next." (Janet E. Morris, best-selling contributor to the shared-universe fantasy series Thieves World. Best-selling author of the Sacred Band of Stepsons series; the Dream Dancer series; I, the Sun; Outpassage; the Silistra Quartet; and editor of the Bangsian in Hell series)

I listened to the audiobook version of this and Rebecca McKernan is a talented narrator. The sound quality wasn't great, which was a bit distracting, as it sounded like she was in a metal box. Not an echo, really, just a hollow sound. However, she does a great job of the narration which kept me into the book.
I do recommend this book

This book surprised me! I went into it with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised with how much I loved it!! You are brought into the world right from the start and I loved learning the intricate world along with Taran. Albia is one of 5 realms that are joined by a veil, that only people proficient in the ability to wield the life force, Artesans, are able to pierce the veil to access the realms. Taran is one of these, but he is only at the Journeyman stage and is desperate to learn more, hence why he went through the veil! The system of the magic and the different worlds was well told and easy to understand. I was enthralled with the world the author created and couldn't read it fast enough!!
The characters were another thing I loved. Each one of them was well developed and well written! It wasn't hard to love each of them, especially Taran and Sully! Sully was such a strong character and one that I admired. She was bad a88 and was a pleasure to read. Often times, a book that's fast paced and intense suffers from lack of character development, but I feel like the author got it right here. Both the world building and character development was well thought out and delivered expertly. We get characters that are continually growing as well as a world that's rich in detail and a joy to read.
In all, a great introduction to the series. It sets the plot and pace for what's sure to be an awesome series!! Bring on book 2!!
Rebecca McKernan was amazing! Her inflections and cadences brought the world alive and she had some pretty awesome tones and voices for each person. I loved her tone for Sully!! I will say that there were times when I felt like she was reading this in a long tunnel. There just seemed to be a void and her voice sounded like that's what she was talking into. The production quality wasn't very crisp!
I was given this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts.
Amazing world building.
