Publisher's Synopsis
"Beautifully layered, with smart, fast-paced action and characters that steal your heart. Doizemaster: Phantasm Creed is a book you won't be able to put down."-Carrie Jones, New York Times and international bestselling author
Armed with a mythical weapon and a childhood dream, Dashiel Ermitage must find a way to protect the town he loves.
When bloodthirsty metal soldiers from the empire of Zaphyrelia infiltrate the divine barrier protecting the magically-infused oasis of Azahar, an unlikely hero is found in Dashiel Ermitage, a simple librarian's apprentice with a longing for adventure.
But with the metallic menace finally defeated after a valiant battle, Azahar faces a greater problem: the barrier that protects the land is weakening, leaving them vulnerable to their enemy. Dashiel's wish for excitement becomes a reality when he is recruited to join the Cobalt Phantasms, an elite order that hopes to provide relief to the Zaphyrolean people suffering under a tyrannical rule. His journey takes him through a wonderful but dangerous nineteenth-century world of flourishing machines and dwindling magic.
Dashiel's new life, however, is threatened by a long-held secret that will put an end to his adventuring days if it ever comes to light. Will he prove to be the hero Azahar needs to overcome their enemies, or will Dashiel's past destroy his chance to save everything he holds dear?
