Plague Arcanist
by Shami Stovall
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: YA Fantasy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Deserts. Rogues. A secret hidden in an underground maze.
Every
moment counts as Volke Savan races south to the city of New Norra. His goal:
find Theasin Venrover, the famous artificer who may have a cure for the arcane
plague. Separated from most of the Frith Guild—and even his sister—Volke must
rely on the crew of the airship, the Sun Chaser, to help him find Theasin in
time.
To
complicate matters, the desert city of New Norra is steeped in mystery, and the
massive maze under the streets could potentially solve all of Volke’s problems.
With hunters after him, and dread pirates in the port, Volke finds himself
forced to choose between equally terrible options…
Continue the Frith Chronicles with the fourth book, Plague
Arcanist!
Praise for the Frith Chronicles!
“Perfect for those
who enjoy the Codex Alera series, the Homas Wildus series and the Harry Potter
series. Stovall is quickly becoming a name I look for."

EXCERPT ONE:
I
had never seen an airship up close before.
Even
in the dying darkness of dawn, this airship—the Sun Chaser—was everything I had
imagined and more. It had the appearance of a sailing ship, specifically a
brig. Brig ships prioritized maneuverability, and while they were large, they
were also long and sleek. Typically, brigs had two square masts to hold the
sails, but this ship was different. Sixteen sails were positioned on the sides
of the ship, jutting out like fins.
Winds
whipped through the woodland trees, rustling the leaves.
The
Sun Chaser flew at a slow pace, descending lower and lower, arriving with the
first light of day. The oak wood used in the airship’s construction shone with
an amber brown. While sailing ships were often damaged by shipworms—sea water
parasites—the Sun Chaser had no rot or damage. It was more beautiful up close
than from afar.
I
waited for the Sun Chaser at the edge of the royal hunting grounds, just
outside of the Thronehold castle. Chaos still reigned supreme inside the city
as everyone scrambled to deal with the aftermath of the queen’s assassination.
The
Frith Guild would help with the fallout. Master Zelfree, Hexa, Zaxis, Atty,
Gillie, Guildmaster Eventide—even my adopted sister, Illia—they would all do
what needed to be done, no doubt in my mind.
After
a deep breath to calm myself, I removed my guild pendant and dropped it in the
grass. I wasn’t one of them anymore.
I
had been infected.
