For fans of steampunk series like The Clockwork Century and The Leviathan Trilogy:

After a devastating attack on the Air Corps, brilliant young engineer Taziri Ohana is the only pilot left to chase the criminals responsible across the skies of Morocco. Within hours, Taziri uncovers a vast conspiracy of deposed aristocrats and wealthy industrialists plotting to overthrow the Queen, plunge the country into war, and turn Taziri's own inventions into hideous new weapons. 

With assassins in every shadow and riots on every street corner, Taziri quickly learns to defend herself as only an engineer can - by inventing new devices on the spot. But despite all her efforts, her country's only hope for survival may be a proud Incan princess, a dashing Spanish fencer, and Taziri's airship Halcyon plummeting out of the burning sky.

Series: The Burning Sky is the first novel in the Halcyon Trilogy, set in an alternate history called The Other Earth. Discover this stunning world where fantastical machines sail the seas and skies of the Mediterranean, enormous prehistoric beasts roam the Americas, and the restless dead haunt the frozen wastes of Europe. In this sixteenth century world, the Incas defeated the Spanish, the Persians reign over the Middle East, and the most advanced nation in history is ruled by women.
