Description
Desperate to escape an arranged marriage and the life her high-ranking government official father planned for her, Cat Hunter does the unthinkable. She runs away from her homeland Tellus, disguises herself as a boy, and stows away on an air ship. She's ready for life in a new land where the general population isn't poverty stricken and at the mercy of the cruel officials. What she isn't quite ready for is meeting Fox, a crew member aboard the Stormdancer-which turns out to be a smugglers' ship. So begins an epic adventure that spans both land and sea.
This explosive debut starts a unique six-book series. Each novel will be set in a different land within the Tellus world, with repeating characters and related, nonlinear storylines that combine to create a one-of-a-kind, addictive reading experience.

Reviews
-
Sprinkled with popular elements of dystopia, steampunk, and noble love, the plot sparkles. . . . Saxon has set up the world of Tellus well to support many rollicking tales.
Publishers Weekly
-
Readers will discover a fast-paced adventure, a little mystery, and a little romance.
School Library Journal
-
Saxon's debut novel depicts a carefully crafted dystopian world. . . . Full of adventure, political intrigue, alternative technology, a chaste romance between Cat and crewmate Fox, and a hint of steampunk, this should be popular with the Hunger Games crowd.
Booklist
-
Moves along briskly and includes enough texture to keep a casual reader engaged.... With so much more of her new world to explore, Cat's story is set up for a potentially long run.
