Review:
Lucy Saxon is twenty and lives in Hertfordshire, UK, with her parents. She describes herself as a cosplayer, con-goer, booklover, and all-round nerd. She wrote her first novel, Take Back the Skies, at the age of sixteen, finding a home for it with Bloomsbury at seventeen, and is now working on the rest of the series. When not writing, Lucy spends most of her time on the Internet, reading books and slaving over her sewing machine.

"Readers fascinated by clockwork adventure will enjoy Tellus' steampunk technologies and airship-populated skies." - Booklist
"Intriguing. . . . readers will undoubtedly feel that staunch, earnest Aleks deserves all the good that heads his way" - BCCB
"Brilliant storytelling . . . Saxon’s second novel is almost perfect and should appeal to any reader who enjoys a great adventure story." - VOYA
"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 on TAKE BACK THE SKIES
"Readers will discover a fast-paced adventure, a little mystery, and a little romance." - School Library Journal on TAKE BACK THE SKIES
"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 on TAKE BACK THE SKIES
"Has an engaging plot and a well-developed world with likable characters." - VOYA on TAKE BACK THE SKIES
"[D]efinitely an author to watch." - USA Today on TAKE BACK THE SKIES

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Thrilling, edge-of-seat fantasy adventure from the author of Take Back the Skies. Set in the same world, but with a new hero and an action-packed dramatic story .Aleks Vasin is the youngest of four brothers, each with his path mapped out. But Aleks doesn't want to work in his father's shop in a village in the westernmost corner of Siberene for the rest of his life. Tired of being picked on and treated like the runt of the family, he decides to save his parents the cost of his keep and leave. First he heads south though everyone tells him not to to Rudavin, headquarters of the Kingsguard. He signs up for the army, little knowing what brutality it entails. After only a few weeks, Aleks realises that this garrison is full of liars and thieves; he's signed away four years of his life to a commander who steals his money and a captain whose only goal is power. This is not a noble destiny. After a brutal beating, Aleks escapes into the night, hoping to find safety and a new life somewhere in the north. And there, this deserter finds LOVE, ADVENTURE and a SKYSHIP in which he might just prove himself a hero after all . Thrilling, edge-of-seat fantasy adventure from the author of Take Back the Skies.
