4-6Brightstone Saga series.
Mikal's sister is sure she'll get picked to be a magical apprentice, but it's eleven-year-old blacksmith-in-training Mikal who is whisked away to study with the sorcerers' Guild of Constant Working. He finds himself apprenticed to a wizard embroiled in a dangerous scheme. Thompson's fantasy world is well realized--hopefully, characters will be better fleshed out in the next book.
