The Artificer #8 is up!
The Artificer #8: The Wish Compass by Marcus Cass is out now!
The beloved series continues with its eighth installment, bringing readers back into the ever-expanding world of Count Alexander Voznesensky—a master artificer whose journey has taken him from imperial intrigues to shadow realms, sea voyages, and even other worlds.
What began as a second chance at life for a legendary craftsman has grown into a sweeping saga of magic, mystery, and relentless challenges. Across the previous volumes, Alexander has faced dark mages, ancient curses, soul-stealing entities, and conspiracies that threatened the very foundations of the Empire. With each new commission, the stakes have risen—and so has the power and responsibility of the artificer himself.
In Book 8, a new task proves more complex than ever before. This time, it’s not just about mastering magic or crafting powerful artifacts—it’s about people. Their desires. Their intentions. Their souls.
The outcome of this mission will shape more than one destiny.
Armed with his unmatched skill in smithing and the forces of nature, Alexander offers a rare chance not only to his allies but to an entire desert world long deprived of sunlight. Along the way, he will confront personal matters left unresolved—and rediscover a force he once wielded above all others: hope.
Because sometimes, the greatest power isn’t magic or artifacts.
It’s hope itself.
Readers can expect new discoveries, memorable characters, and turning points that will echo across the series. And as always with The Artificer, the story remains both thrilling and heartfelt—where even in the darkest moments, there is always a path forward.
Enjoy the new adventure—and may your reading list never run dry!
