Eric R Asher Announces Steampunk Series

This Young Adult steampunk adventure book follows Jacob, a tinker's apprentice and sometime thief, who has lived his entire life in the mountain city of Ancora, protected by the city walls. These towering barriers keep the Deadlands creatures at bay, but the monsters move higher into the peaks every year. More and more, they breach the defenses of the Lowlands while the Highlands rest easy.

A swarm overruns the walls and wreaks utter devastation on the Lowlands. Charles, the old tinker, suspects the attack may not be natural. With help from Jacob's closest friend, Alice, and Samuel, one of the city's elite spider knights, Jacob and Charles will uncover a terrible darkness at the heart of their city.

Steamborn will release on all other platforms December 1st.

Steamforged, book two, will release January 19th, and Steamsworn, book three, will release February 2nd. Both will be iBooks exclusives before releasing on all platforms shortly afterward.

Steampunk is a subgenre of science fiction, and sometimes fantasy, that incorporates technology and aesthetic designs inspired by 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery.
