About The Painter’s Apprentice
The pen is mightier than the sword. The brush beats both.
Imagine having the ability to paint any world you like and then walk inside it.
With a moneygrubbing father and obnoxious mother, young Jack hasn’t had an easy childhood. But when he’s invited to compete in a painting contest hosted by the legendary Dante De Luca, his life becomes remarkable. With Dante’s mind-boggling training, Jack learns to create sensational worlds, like a god.
After eight years of apprenticeship, tragedy strikes, and Jack is left plummeting towards an emotional abyss. To reunite with his beloved mentor, Dante, he must conquer a savage world ruled by the ruthless Archduke Oakenfol and his rebellious daughter, Annabelle.
A world brimming with backstabbing, blades and teeth.
A world Jack may not survive.
A world he created.
The Painter’s Apprentice is a riot of colour, painted in love, hate and blood. Suitable for readers aged 12 and up.
Free from Friday 13th January to Tuesday 17th January.

Author Bio:
Alexander Small is a YA fantasy author from Scotland.
One day, while stuck in his home during the bleak Scottish winter lockdown, he looked at a painting on his wall–a peaceful country scene filled with trees and warm sunshine–and thought how nice it would be to just walk inside it and escape. The idea of the Painter’s Apprentice took hold and grew from there.
Alexander is an avid reader and student of literature. He loves travel, swimming, and writing stories that give people pleasure.
After almost twenty years of working all over the world, Alexander now lives in rural Scotland, close to Falkland Palace and its surrounding forest.
