Ink & Intent: The Glyphwright Chronicles

By: Fabiano, Jeremy

Marcus Fairwind remembers every symbol he's ever seen. Too bad that talent is useless for a merchant's son-until he starts treating magic like a supply chain problem.

After disappointing his father one too many times, Marcus begs Millbrook's irritable glyphwright for an apprenticeship. Erasmus reluctantly takes him on, teaching him glyphwriting-magic through written symbols.

His perfectionist rival Felix thinks Marcus doesn't belong. The Guild fears what happens when apprentice innovations make master traditions obsolete.

When their experimental ward network actually works, the Guild decides to make an example of them. The challenge: protect the entire Harvest Festival or both apprentices and their masters lose their right to practice. Forever.

Now Marcus and his former rival must save three days of festival chaos-escaping livestock, spoiling goods, and traditions gone sideways. But when the Guild rigs the game against them, the apprentice Marcus once couldn't stand might be the only person worth trusting.

A cozy fantasy with LitRPG progression elements, first romance, found family, and the revolutionary idea that sometimes your worst enemy is exactly the partner you need.

Pour yourself something warm, settle into your favorite reading spot, and discover why sometimes the most magical thing isn't saving the world-it's finding where you belong.
