Welcome to the world that could have been.
​
YA Steampunk/Alt-History
​
Welcome to the age of airships. It is a world powered by steam and innovation, ruled by an elusive empress at its heart.
Seventeen year-old Jorun is not part of this world. Hers is one of hidden tunnel networks and lights that dance across night skies, one that has remained separate from the rest of society for over a thousand years. This all changes when a boy appears from nowhere, raving about invaders from a faraway land. Purely by chance, Jorun soon finds herself in the middle of a struggle unlike anything she could have ever dreamed of, and must come to the realization that only she can stop an impending war.

An Amazon Top 100 Bestseller (Teen/Young Adult Sci-fi)
Domino Blanken was supposed to be a nobody. A charity case, a gutter-cleaner. To everyone's surprise, her brilliance soon made her one of the most valuable minds in the country . . . and, somehow, the only friend of standoffish Kay Ross.
​
Kay is no stranger to the extraordinary. She's grown up surrounded by bitter rivalries, socialites with heartless smiles, and inventors creating contraptions that have conquered even the skies. Belonging to England's most powerful -and hated- families comes with its own challenges, and at seventeen, she's made her fair share of enemies.
​
But even Kay isn't prepared for the brutal crime that leaves her best friend dead. As vendettas and secrets from the past are thrown into the open, Kay is forced to question everything she thought she knew about her world, her family, and Domino herself.
