Sovas Nominated for Outstanding Audiobook Narration – Science Fiction – Best Voiceover In a steampunk world where machinery collides with ancient magic, Annie Sakdavong is determined to make her mark—even if society stands in her way. For Annie Sakdavong, engineering is more than a passion—it's an escape. Trained from birth to be a "sword maiden"—a bodyguard bride pledged to a wealthy merchant—she defies her family by apprenticing herself to Issa Obasi, a brilliant Igbo engineer ostracized from his homeland for his inability to use his people's ikè , or rune magic. Together, they pursue revolutionary research to merge forbidden magic with steam power. But their work attracts the wrong attention. A ghost-like assassin who can walk through walls begins hunting them, revealing a shadowy conspiracy to steal their designs for a new and terrible weapon. To protect their secrets, Annie must embrace the deadly warrior she fought to leave behind, while Issa, forced into the role of a detective, must confront his past to unlock the dormant power of a rune master and become the man he was always meant to be. An action-packed steampunk adventure filled with mystery, magic, and courage, The Engineer's Apprentice is perfect for fans of A Master of Djinn by P. Djèlí Clark and In Plain Sight (Arcane Casebook Series) by Dan Willis . Step into a reimagined West, where the power of steam collides with ancient runes, and two outsiders defy the odds to change their world.
