The story at a glance
The Apprentice will capture your imagination from the first paragraph as you get drawn into a story everyone can identify with.
The story follows the unexpected journey of a young apprentice named Hans who is forced to leave home and learn that there is more to life than he thought.
As Hans travels, he encounters people and situations he has never experienced in the small village where he grew up. He finds that working in the big cities is not what he thought it would be.
Each chapter will leave you wanting to turn the page and see what happens next as Hans struggles through the most important journey of his life.
You'll be introduced to the people that impact Hans' life, and you will recognize them as the people you know in your own life. Some you will love and others, well, you decide for yourself.
The situations Hans finds himself in are ones you can relate to, and you'll learn valuable lessons from each one. The end of the book will tug at your heartstrings, and you won't be able to wait for the next book in the trilogy.
The second book, The Journeyman, will be published in the summer of 2022. The final book in the trilogy, The Craftsman, will be published in the summer of 2023.
