Overview

A Saskwyan flight mechanic with uncanny luck, seventeen-year-old Robin Arianhod grew up in the shadow of a decade-long war. But the skies are stalked by the Coyote-a ruthless Klonn pilot who picks off crippled airships and retreating soldiers. And as the only person to have survived an aerial dance with Saskwya's greatest scourge, Robin has earned his attention. As a pilot, Robin is good. But the Coyote is better. When he shoots her down and takes her prisoner, Robin finds herself locked into a new kind of dance. The possibility of genuine affection from a man who should be her enemy has left her with a choice: accept the Coyote's offer of freedom and romance in exchange for repairing a strange rocket pack that could spell Saskwya's defeat, but become a traitor to her country. Or betray her own heart and escape. If she takes the rocket pack and flees, she could end the war from the inside. All she has to do is fly. Filled with intrigue, forbidden romance, and a touch of steampunk, The Skylark's Song soars in this new duology from the award-winning author of The Accidental Turn Series.

"""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 Keepers"
