Five Gems Series by E. Kaiser Writes Book Tour and Giveaway :)
Jeweler's
Apprentice
Five
Gems Book 1
by
E. Kaiser Writes
Genre:
YA Fantasy Adventure
On
her first visit to the palace, sixteen-year-old Fia stumbles upon a
court intrigue. To keep the secret safe, the Chancellor sends her off
as apprentice to a famous, reclusive, mountain jeweler...
...And
straight into adventure.
Discovering gems with deep secrets and
new friends with the same, Fia learns a whole lot more than just
making jewelry: when to trust a stranger, and when not to, why not to
try stealing from gem thieves; what heroism is; what royalty ought to
be; and that the mountains themselves can sometimes be the greatest
danger of all.
Is the legend of the Sunlight Stone true?
Will
peace ever come to the war-torn neighboring kingdom?
And what is
the stable boy hiding...?
Swiftly she wove
through the arbors toward the spot where she thought she had glimpsed
something. The closer she got the less sinister everything looked.
She let her shoulders relax. She’d been letting the night and new
surroundings get to her. Perhaps it had been
merely some gardener's boy coming back from a nearly unremembered
duty. Or had it been sheer imagination alone? That would be enough
to account for a great deal, right there. Suddenly
her heart stopped, and she stared fixedly at the space between the
arbors. It hadn’t been a shadow this time, nor could it even
remotely be construed a gardener's boy. It was a man, clothed in dark
garments, a black scarf of flimsy material hiding most of his face.
His gait was purposefully soundless, and the intensity in his
movements made her blood chill.
Traitor's
Knife
Five
Gems Book 2
Secrets.
Sabotage. Murder. With Olayin House temporarily turned into a weapons
factory, Fia is confronted with the care of three refugee children,
an ill-timed visitor, a perplexingly brash messenger that she isn't
quite sure what to think of, all while trying to keep her friend’s
secrets safe. But when dangerous accidents start to happen, the young
apprentice begins to tread a fine line of suspicion. Are saboteurs
out to nix the weapons works... and is the incognito crown prince in
mortal peril? Winter in the mountain house isn’t as cozy as her
apprenticeship was expected to be.

"Ah, a new
friend, Fia?" She turned to face
the newcomer, and Ilido dropped his arm from her shoulder. Why was it
she felt her cheeks seemed warmer than usual. "Yes, as a
matter of fact, an old one." Willex looked Ilido
up and down as if judging a horse's age.
"Not too old of
one, I take it." he jibed. "Older than you
think, perhaps." Ilido said softly, and there was a certain look
in his eye that made Fia uncomfortable. "Willex, this
is Ilido. You must need a cup of warm cider, your hands must be
freezing." She turned toward the stove, she immediately had a
vision of the two young men standing there glowering at one another.
Or even worse, saying something prickly. The
mood between the two was decidedly prickly.
King's
Ward
Five
Gems Book 3
With
her wealth of loyalist secrets, Fia’s position at Olayin House is
compromised. Now a potential danger to two countries, she is made a
ward of the king and sent away yet again; this time into the
grassland kingdom of Erlandia, but
her journey amongst the horse folk takes unexpected turns.
Trapped
under siege, she faces two men from her past... one she fears might
murder her, and the other may die of plague unless she wins the
battle for his life.
And
with the Sunlight Stone traded for troops, how long will Erlandia’s
peace last?
“Bravo!”
Siransa cheered and the whole section of the fence clapped their
hands and sent shrill whistles in acknowledgment of a master hand and
three fine horses. “That’s
one of our lads.” Siransa nodded proudly at the galloping set,
racing back to the other end of the arena. “One
of yours?” Fia turned her head, trying to catch everything at once. “Well,
not mine, personally…” Siransa stuttered a bit and ducked her
head, and Fia wondered if her new friend wouldn’t have liked very
much to have that dashing rider be “her’s, personally.” “Our
local lads.” Siransa clarified and turned away a little too
sharply, her chin held a trifle too strict in the air.
E. Kaiser Writes was born into a family of readers, and got started on storytelling around the age of four when her older siblings prompted her into recounting an absolutely ridiculous account of a parallel childhood. It was good for the family's general entertainment, and she discovered the thrill of making people laugh.
At
the age of seven her mother read the Hobbit aloud, and a fascination
with beautiful fantasy was born. At nine she came to the decision
that she wanted to be a writer, and set to reading rabidly to learn
the art. At thirteen she attempted her first novel, and it was eaten
in a computer's demise.
Afterward,
during her teenage years she tried very hard at various times to stop
writing all together.
Not
succeeding, she at last gave in to her addiction, and wrote "for
fun".
Her
first novel, Jeweler's Apprentice, is a light-fantasy adventure for
teens. The shy, bookish heroine is thrust out on the first step
toward the adventure that awaits, and growing up. More books in this
series are expected.
If
your book was made into a film, who would you like to play the lead?
Oh,
definitely some unknown who looks just like how Fia is portrayed on
the cover! I’m big
on using new talent that really fits the part, and I’m actually
sort of the kind of person who calls actors by the name of the role I
first saw them in... It’s hard to see them as a totally different
character.
So in
my ideal world, I’d cast all fresh faces... and I know that’s not
an acceptable way to ensure your film makes a million, but
artistically, that’d be my preference!
