Reading path
Start with A Forbidden Alchemy, then continue with A Forsaken Prophecy. Simon & Schuster lists both as The Artisan Trilogy books one and two.
Reader fit
Choose it if you want romantasy with class conflict, magic as labor/power, gangster grit, betrayal, and a couple caught inside a larger rebellion.
What readers tend to notice
The Artisan Trilogy is not trying to repeat the ice-and-survival feel of The Glacian Trilogy. Its identity is more urban and political: alchemical power, rigid class structure, outlaw pressure, and a romance tangled in betrayal and social unrest.
That makes it a good route for readers who want new-release romantasy with a magic system and rebellion stakes. Completion-only readers should wait, because the first two books are out but the trilogy is not finished.
Before you start
This is a newer, still-unfolding trilogy. If you need a finished Stacey McEwan arc, read The Glacian Trilogy first. The Artisan lane is better for readers who like magic systems, factories, and social hierarchy built into the romance conflict.
Best reader match
Best for new romantasy, current releases, class-war fantasy, and Stacey McEwan browsing.
Choose this over...
Choose The Artisan Trilogy over The Glacian Trilogy when you want city grit and magic systems; choose Glacian when you want survival, ice, cliffs, and completed-trilogy payoff.
