The Jeweler #2 is Out!
The Jeweler #2 by Victor Grosov: Crafting a New Future, One Gem at a Time
Magic Dome Books is delighted to announce the release of The Jeweler #2, the second installment in Victor Grosov’s captivating Historical Portal Progression Fantasy series.
After awakening in the body of a young apprentice in the early nineteenth century, Grigory has already proven that knowledge from the future can change more than a single life—it can reshape an entire era. But true mastery is never achieved overnight.
In the second volume, Grigory pushes his craft even further. Combining the precision of a modern engineer with the artistry of a master jeweler, he transforms gemstones' imperfections into their greatest strengths, designs ingenious new machines, and steadily challenges the rigid traditions of Imperial Russia. Every invention opens new doors—but also attracts new rivals, powerful patrons, and dangers that no amount of technical knowledge can fully predict.
Victor Grosov has chosen one of the rarest professions in historical fiction as the heart of his series. As the author himself has said, jewelers rarely become the heroes of alternative history, despite working in a world where craftsmanship often feels like magic. Their true battle is fought not with swords, but with metal, gemstones, patience, and skill. It is precisely this quiet struggle that gives The Jeweler its unique atmosphere.
Set against the final peaceful years before the Napoleonic invasion, the series brings readers into candlelit workshops, aristocratic salons, and bustling streets where history is poised to change forever. While others chase glory on battlefields, Grigory wages a different kind of revolution—proving that intelligence, craftsmanship, and innovation can break barriers that centuries of tradition have left standing.
Blending meticulous historical detail, technological progression, political intrigue, and an unconventional protagonist, The Jeweler #2 continues a story where every polished gemstone and every carefully built mechanism has the power to alter the course of history.
The Jeweler #2 is available now.
