Leif Craftsman has left the capital and continues his journey to the frontier and his new home. Along the way he continues to hone his skills and meet new people eager for his wares.Once Leif reaches the mountains, he finds that he loves the area despite the dangerous beasts that roam it. The crisp mountain air is invigorating and the views touch something in him. He also finds that his farm is in worse shape than he imagined and that help isn't so easy to come by. Still, Leif decides to rebuild the homestead and start working for himself.This book is still filled with crafting and enchanting though the descriptions of crafting are not as in depth as they were in the previous book. There is some violence and fighting, but not much. Leif is a craftsman, not a fighter. If you're looking for a lot of action, you won't find it in this book. It's not that kind of story.
