Praise for Mark of the Dragonfly “Heart, brains, and courage find a home in a steampunk fantasy worthy of a nod from Baum.” — Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
“A fantastic and original tale of adventure and magic...Piper is a heroine to fall in love with: smart, brave, kind, and mechanically inclined to boot.” — SLJ, Starred Review
Praise for The Secrets of Solace “Highly recommended for those who have finished with Harry and are too young for Katniss." — SLJ, Starred Review

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. 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 tuned dangerous.
The Secrets of Solace: Lina Winterbock lives in the mountain strongholds of Solace. She’s an apprentice to the archivists, the wise men and women whose lives are dedicated to studying the objects that mysteriously fall from the sky in the scrap towns, but the Iron War has changed everything. The strongholds are now a refuge, and the people Lina once counted on no longer have time for her, so she spends her days exploring. The strongholds are vast and old with forgotten rooms and collapsed chambers. And in one of those forgotten chambers, Lina discovers a secret, a half-buried airship like nothing she has ever seen before. She’s determined to dig it out and restore it. But Lina needs help, and she doesn’t know anyone she can trust with her secret. Then she meets Ozben, a mysterious boy who has a secret of his own—a secret that’s so dangerous it could change the course of the Iron War and the world of Solace forever.
