For 400 years magic was fading. Two extraordinary twins have changed everything. Now magic is back, but not everyone is using it for good . . . Discover the extraordinary world of Artezans, by acclaimed middle-grade author, L.D. Lapinski.
Twins Elodie and Edward Crane are Artezans, inheritors of strange and powerful magic. After surviving an epic battle with The Sandman, and a shipwreck on a mysterious island, they are now in search of Last Spellbreaker to try and undo some of the chaos that the newly strong magic has created.
But the twins are separated in two different worlds. And both are in danger.
With dark forces only steps behind them, can Ed and Elodie use their newfound powers to protect each other and stay alive?
Praise for the Artezans series:
‘A stupendous, witty, humane fantasy. . . an inventive, compelling world and characters I would die for. LD Lapinski is a genius!’ Louie Stowell, author of ‘Loki: A Bad God’s Guide’ series
L.D. Lapinski lives just outside Sherwood Forest with their family, a lot of books, and a cat called Hector. They are the author of The Strangeworlds Travel Agency trilogy, and the standalone novel Jamie.
When they aren’t writing, L.D. can be found cosplaying, drinking a lot of cherry cola, and taking care of a forest of succulent plants. L.D. first wrote a book aged seven; it was made of lined paper and Sellotape, and it was about a frog who owned an aeroplane. When L.D. grows up, they want to be a free-range guinea pig farmer.
