Today I'm happy to be participating in the blog tour for the steampunk fantasy,
Mark of the Dragonfly!!
Piper has never seen the Mark of the Dragonfly until she finds the girl amid the wreckage of a caravan in the Meteor Fields.
The girl doesn't remember a thing about her life, but the intricate tattoo on her arm is proof that she's from the Dragonfly Territories and that she's protected by the king. Which means a reward for Piper if she can get the girl home.
The one sure way to the Territories is the 401, a great old beauty of a train. But a ticket costs more coin than Piper could make in a year. And stowing away is a difficult prospect--everyone knows that getting past the peculiar green-eyed boy who stands guard is nearly impossible.
Life for Piper just turned dangerous. A little bit magical. And very exciting, if she can manage to survive the journey.

I love the combination of fantasy and the appearance of history; the mix of genres and the amazing amount of creativity that goes into the writing of steampunk. To me, it is sheer genius.
ReplyDeleteI like the funky gadgets the best. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI have not read too much steampunk, so I would be excited to read one and add it to my book collection!
