En 'Alvin el aprendiz', la tercera entrega de la serie Alvin Maker de Orson Scott Card, nos sumergimos en un mundo donde la magia y el folclore americano se entrelazan en una colonia británica de Norteamérica del siglo XIX. Alvin, el séptimo hijo de un séptimo hijo, está destinado a ser un Hacedor, un antagonista de las fuerzas destructivas que amenazan la creación. A medida que Alvin crece y aprende el oficio de herrero, despliega sus poderes mágicos para enfrentarse al maléfico Deshacedor. Esta novela de fantasía explora temas de destino, poder y la lucha entre el bien y el mal en un contexto histórico y cultural único.
