From NZ Children's Book Award 2-time Finalist Ged Maybury comes the first volume of an exciting new Steampunk trilogy "Across the Stonewind Sky."
"Into The Storm's Domain" is a rollicking ride set in an alternative Victorian era, and it delivers an A-to-Z of swashbuckling adventure: Action, Buxom Beauties, Cunning Contrivances, Enigmatic Emissaries, Heroics, Science, Villainy and Strange Zoology.
Satalyte Publishing is pleased to be releasing "Into The Storm's Domain," which will be followed by Books Two and Three over the next year. Review Advanced Reading Copies are now available by sending an email to Satalyte Publishing.
"Into The Storm's Domain" is available for pre-order exclusively from the Satalyte Publishing bookstore, and will be available in wide release early in 2014.
Book Description:
Jilted at the altar and determinedly British about it, Rodney Hoverrim embarks on the adventure of a lifetime - following his nation's bravest (and most foolish) into the "Storm's Domain."
But his airship adventure is barely under way before he is hijacked, and they in turn are attacked by sky pirates; twice! Now captive of the very vile villainess The Black Bitch, Rod must fight for his life as her fetid airship plummets towards the skyland of Vicaria - lair of its mad (and possibly evil) ruler Victor Vicario; well known for injecting his visitors with his latest concoctions.
Out of the frying pan but not yet in Victor's clutches, Rod must desperately deduce who his true allies are before it is too late - only to discover that Vicaria hides a veritable shipload of secrets, and seductive women!
