About the Book:
A steampunk adventure with a touch of romance. When Lady Arabella Trunkett’s father, the Lord High Minister of Urbannia, is kidnapped, suspicion points to the mysterious country of Gandiss and the world is thrown into political upheaval. But Arabella is convinced the more sinister nation of Carabarras is to blame, urged on by a mad scientist seeking revenge. She sets out on a dangerous airship adventure across numerous exotic locales to rescue her father before war breaks out. Not only is she faced with danger from mysterious assassins, slaver traders and air-pirates, the fickle hand of fate adds an additional complication to her trials. Unfortunately, the captain of the only airship available for charter is a man who left her at the altar. For eight years she’s wanted nothing more than to see him dead. But now he’s her only hope.
My Thoughts:
This is my second steampunk book ever and this was by far my favorite. Lara Nance has done a wonderful job blending mystery and romance together. I cannot wait for the next book to come out which is rare for me. There are strange worlds and much more.Jules Verne has nothing on Lara Nance

I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

Wow! I’m so incredibly honored at this wonderful review. I can’t tell you how happy it makes me when someone likes my work. This is what keeps me writing. Thanks you, Rita! Lara
After reading Fifty Shades of Grey I have been trying to find reviews on books that I might like, I love this review and I think I’ve found my new book to read.
Steampunk! I’d love to read this. My Hubz, a cabinet maker, has begin to incorporate some of the Steampunk influence into his style. I love it and think an adventure novel would be great fun.
Kristie and Mary Beth, Thank you! I hope you enjoy the adventure! Lara
I love the steampunk style, it’s so fun and awesome. I don’t really understand the story lines that go behind steampunk, but i love the costumes. But to be honest this was a pretty broad review of a book.
Hen I saw the cover I instantly thought steam punk late,y I’ve been really into it I just recently heard of steam punk a few months ago it interests me, the style, the stories just everything!
I read a lot and have never understood the steampunk style ….although that doesn’t mean I don’t like it. To me it is just a quirky writing style somewhat like the writers from years ago like you mentioned Verne .
It sounds like an interesting book and one that would be an enjoyable read.
This sounds interesting. I haven’t read a steampunk book yet.
