Eighteen-year-old Ziva may have defeated a deadly warlord, but the price was almost too much. Ziva is forced into a breakneck race to a nearby city with the handsome mercenary, Kellyn, and the young scholar, Petrik, to find a powerful magical healer who can save her sister’s life. When the events that follow lead to Ziva and Kellyn’s capture by an ambitious prince, Ziva is forced into the very situation she’s been dreading: magicking dangerous weapons meant for world domination. The forge has always been Ziva’s safe space, a place to avoid society and the anxiety it causes her, but now it is her prison, and she’s not sure just how much of herself she’ll have to sacrifice to save Kellyn and take center stage in the very war she’s been trying to stop. Praise for the Bladesmith Duology: "An addictive page-turner. Loaded with action, betrayal, slow-burn romance—honestly, that is the best first kiss scene ever...

Grab this and devour it." — Booklist on Blade of Secrets, starred review "Blade of Secrets is an impactful, eye-opening journey of social anxiety that is flawlessly blended with Levenseller's signature flair for adventure and romance." —Bookstagram sensation Bridget Howard, @darkfaerietales_, on Blade of Secrets

Eighteen-year-old Ziva prefers metal to people. She spends her days tucked away in her forge, safe from society and the anxiety it causes her, using her magical gift to craft unique weapons imbued with power. Then Ziva receives a commission from a powerful warlord, and the result is a sword capable of stealing its victims' secrets. A sword that can cut far deeper than the length of its blade. A sword with the strength to topple kingdoms. When Ziva learns of the warlord’s intentions to use the weapon to enslave all the world under her rule, she takes her sister and flees. Joined by a distractingly handsome mercenary and a young scholar with extensive knowledge of the world’s known magics, Ziva and her sister set out on a quest to keep the sword safe until they can find a worthy wielder or a way to destroy it entirely.

Book Synopsis How to Forge Clyde Fischer Blades by : American Bladesmith Society
Download or read book How to Forge Clyde Fischer Blades written by American Bladesmith Society and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-28 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a beginner knifemaker, you need to read this book. To be a successful knife maker, not only will you have to learn how to make knives you will have to learn how to sell them. Clyde had famous hunters and writers recommending his knives in newspapers, and Field and Stream Magazines.To be a member of the Knifemakers Guild you will have to submit to the board promotional materials in the form of a Catalog of your knives. Clyde had authored three excellent catalogs promoting his knives.The first half of this book is about Clyde Edward Fischer's life. The second half is about how I made thirteen of his knives. I would suggest that a beginner bladesmith should take the American Bladesmith Society's "Introduction to Bladesmithing". Class. It is a two-week class that will teach you how to forge, grind, heat treat and finish knife blades. The ABS also teach a one week "Handles and Guards" Class.Clyde had his Grandfather's blacksmith's shop consisting of a bellows forge, anvil, hammers and tongs. At first, he had an industrial 6-inch diameter grindstone. Later, I think he purchased a 2X72-inch belt grinder. He may have added a buffer for polishing the blades. A powered buffer is the most dangerous machine in a knifemakers shop. It has been known to take a blade from one's hand and drive it into your groin, foot or some other body part. I would suggest that you learn to hand finish the blades. Do not buy a powered buffer.As an Apprentice, Journeyman or Master Bladesmith, I would recommend that you recreate some of the Fisher knives. They are well designed for their purpose and are good looking. They are as appealing today as they were when Clyde made them. I sold the knives that I made in a short period of time.
