The Blacksmith is a post-apocalyptic-military/western that centers around a 62 year old man, Jeremiah Pratt, who's not only infamous for incredible war exploits, nor just for participating in the long wars from beginning to end, but for having survived them without having suffered any scars, while most other men his age are either dead or maimed. The United States is no longer in existence, and the continent is now divided into three territories, occupied and loosely controlled by the former security firms that revolted and eventually overthrew the US government. The long civil war not only divided the continent, but depleted resources while leaving a surplus of weapons and ammunition. Jeremiah's future lies in his past, so the story is told in two alternating timelines which converge at the end, like a closing circle, with a few twists and a satisfying ending. As Jeremiah Pratt contends with old enemies, young fools, and traveling zealots, he tries to make sense of life, loss, destiny, and vengeance. Fate can be cruel and no one can survive so much without accumulating scars, even if they're not visible on the outside.
