The Magicsmith Series
The Magicsmith is a bestselling, multi-award-winning, contemporary fantasy series.
The series takes place in a world that could be ours — you could find most of the locations on any modern map — but magic and magical beings are real. The story kicks off about ten years after the Faerie Wars — a global conflict between humans and fae that occurred after the fae made their existence known in an effort to prevent human overpopulation and expansion from corrupting the wild places where fae portals connect their realms to ours. Alex Blackwood lost her father in that war, and her mother shortly after. Now she's a metalsmith and part-time bookstore clerk who lives in a secluded cabin in the Rocky Mountains, occasionally sells her sculptures in an art gallery in Boulder, Colorado, and does her best to avoid all things magical. When one of her college friends is murdered for a magic artifact he'd been hiding, Alex discovers that she's one of the magical beings her father fought so hard to destroy.
As the world threatens to plunge into another all-out war between magical and non-magical beings, Alex finds herself trapped in the middle, torn between opposing groups. Each book in the series has its own crisis to overcome, its own antagonist to face, but throughout them all Alex finds herself in the role of peacekeeper. She struggles to convince those around her to exercise tolerance and acceptance, but in order to do that she'll have to reconcile the conflicting sides of her own existence.
