Overview

Robin Arianhod is on the run. Trapped behind enemy lines, her only choice is to lose herself in the sprawling capital of Klonn. But hiding in the shadows is a disservice to the rocket pack she escaped with, and to the man she once considered foe. Instead, she'll enact his plan, harness the incredible power of the pack, and stop the war from the inside.Wanted posters stalk her every move as rumor fuels the Skylark's rise, and her attempts at vigilantism attract the attention of more than just the city guards. Robin finds herself embroiled in the machinations of a mysterious underground rebellion-Klonnish citizens as tired of the war as she is. But are they really her allies, or are they using the Skylark as bait? And can she really trust that her former archnemesis turned his coat? Or will the secret of his true identity lead Robin, and her newfound friends, to their deaths? Rife with high-flying action, subterfuge, and deception, The Skylark's Sacrifice is the explosive conclusion to the saga of war-torn Saskwya, and the one pilot who can change it all.

"""This book soars with action, adventure and clever world building. The details are perfect, the characters are snappy, clever and real. Strap on your seatbelts, it's quite the ride!"" -Arthur Slade, bestselling author of the Mission Clockwork series. ""A romantic, action-packed and just plain fun adventure, The Skylark's Song is a classic superhero origins story that also manages to subvert tropes and expectations. I give it five fabulous jet packs."" -Adrienne Kress, The Friday Society & The Explorers series ""Some adventures soar more than others, The Skylark's Song takes to the sky and never looks back. Full of aerial battles, potential betrayals, political and philosophical chess matches, all combined with romance, humor, and, best of all, heart."" -Peter Soloman, Henry Franks ""If you're looking for a rollicking steampunk adventure, The Skylark's Song has it all-action! Intrigue! Romance! Cool contraptions! The Skylark is my new favourite heroine!"" -Rob St. Martin, Sunset Val ""I'm a big fan of J.M. Frey's Accidental Turn series that I was stoked to pick up this title. Though steampunk dystopia isn't my go-to flavour of book, I enjoyed how thorough the world was. I am always happy to see diversity in characters, and women being badass is a win for me, so that made me want to read more. The relationships got steamy (pun intended) and the dynamic of how that came about was a hard read, but I liked that it wasn't a formulaic approach to fantasy romance; it got me mad and sympathetic and a whole mess of emotions while reading it. I'm looking forward to the next installment as I need to know what happens next!"" -Adrianna Prosser, Stories Like Crazy podcast ""The Skylark's Song is both a fantastic adventure story and a sensitive look at the interplay between power and attraction in a relationship. Can't wait for book two!"" -Liv Rancourt, The Lighthouse Keeper"
