Publisher Description
The completed series starts here! All nine books of the Steamborn Series are now available.
A supernatural swarm. A treacherous scheme. A tinker’s apprentice may be the village’s only hope…
Jacob has yet to meet a gadget he couldn’t fix or an adventure he could resist. With trade routes to his remote Lowlands town cut off, Jacob must exchange his boyhood adventures for petty theft. After all, his wages at the tinker shop aren’t enough to pay for his father’s medicine.
But it soon becomes clear why few merchants brave the nearby roads as a plague of terrifying creatures descends upon the town. With the Lowlands under siege, Jacob and his friend have no choice but to run for their lives. When their escape uncovers a terrible secret, Jacob learns there are those who’ll stop at nothing to make sure the teen takes the scandal to his grave…
Customer Reviews
Steampunk mixed with killer insects and class hostility.
Interesting story, good plot and although the main characters are teenagers, it’s not exactly a young adult book. There is a lot of drama, action and a liberal dose of humour to engage the interest of most readers.
