Description
The highly-anticipated sequel to Master of Sorrows, and the second book in The Silent Gods series.
What if you held the power of a god, but you couldn’t control it?
Annev and his friends have survived the destruction of Chaenbalu, but greater threats await them in the capital city of Luqura.
As Annev navigates the city’s perilous streets, he must also evade those who seek to possess and destroy him while seeking answers to the questions that continue to haunt him: Who orchestrated the attack on his village … and why? Who is Reeve, and why did Sodar want Annev to find him? Can Annev trust him?
Most importantly, can Annev learn to control his nascent magic, and will he find a way to remove the cursed artifact now fused to his body? If so, what will it ultimately cost him?

Advance Praise
PRAISE FOR MASTER ARTIFICER
“Master Artificer carves a brightly burning glyph that will attract a bigger and bigger following for years to come…Call has created a rare blend of story innovation, authentic characters, and a finely crafted, diverse world that elevates the bar of what epic fantasy can achieve.”
-Adam Weller, Fantasy Book Review
“Call is a modern high fantasy master, our very own Master of Epic Tales…I believe he’s the best modern high fantasy writer of our time.”
-Betwixt the Sheets
“Justin Call knocked on the door and introduced himself to the fantasy world with book one, but with Master Artificer he kicks down the door, grabs us by the throat, and demands our undivided attention.”
-Nick Borrelli, Out of This World SFF Reviews
“With Master Artificer, Justin Call takes everything that made his debut so utterly amazing and cranks it up to the next level. He’s created a world so real that it’s hard to believe it comes out of his imagination, and yet he never lets the stage overwhelm the tautness of the plot as we journey along with Annev down his dark, dark path. And somehow, Call keeps the tension building and building until you can’t take any more—and then he turns up the heat even more. If you love losing yourself in a story full of monsters, gods, and some dark magic that feels so real you’ll think you can cast a few spells yourself, this book—this series—is for you. Move over Sanderson, there’s a new master storyteller in town (and I’m just a little bit jealous).”
-Mike Shackle, author of We Are the Dead and A Fool’s Hope
PRAISE FOR MASTER OF SORROWS
“Readers of Mark Lawrence’s Book of the Ancestor trilogy or Patrick Rothfuss’s Kingkiller Chronicle will appreciate the depiction of a young conflicted hero coming of age in a fantastic school.”
-Library Journal
“A fast-paced, action-packed epic fantasy to sink your teeth into.”
-Kirkus Reviews
“Game designer Call inverts fantasy tropes…A late-stage reveal and violent climax nicely set up book two.”
-Publishers Weekly
“Master of Sorrows…turns one of the core fantasy plots on its head. Brutal and intense, this is a book no one will be able to put down.”
-Seattle Book Review
“One of the best books I have read this year and a perfect example of grimdark fantasy…It is riveting, exciting, and one that is going to stick with me for a while.”
-Grimdark Magazine
