The Artificer #4 is live!
The Artificer #4: Soul Wardens Is Out Now!
The journey of a master artificer continues in Book 4 of The Artificer series by Marcus Cass — and this time, the shadows grow deeper than ever before.
After cheating death itself and awakening centuries later in the body of a disgraced young count, Alexander returned home with one goal: to devote himself to his craft. But peace has always been elusive. Each commission has pulled him further into a web of intrigue, ancient riddles, and dangerous magic — from restoring his family’s legacy to unraveling conspiracies tied to a mysterious death mage.
Now, a new commission turns into Alexander’s most perilous challenge yet.
In Soul Wardens, he comes face to face with the denizens of the Shadow World — beings who steal human souls and hide beyond the reach of ordinary magic. His search for answers leads him to a remote northern village, where secrets are guarded not only by wary villagers, but by monsters as well. To survive, Alexander must master the powers of both Light and Shadow, pushing his abilities as an artificer further than ever before.
Along the way, old mysteries resurface, new truths come to light, and even Alexander’s seemingly harmless fluffy companions reveal a very unexpected magical surprise. Fire, shadows, ancient secrets, magical creatures — and even a dragon — all play their part in this unfolding adventure.
Yet despite the dangers, this remains the kind of story readers have come to love: a tale of ingenuity, perseverance, and hope. No matter how dark the path becomes, the light is never truly lost.
