Description

Another mad-cap adventure awaits Detan and his ne’er do well companions in this delightful steampunk mash-up with all the trappings of a heist caper

As the city that produces the most selium—that precious gas that elevates airships and powers strange magic—Hond Steading is a jewel worth stealing. To shore up the city’s defenses, Detan promises his aunt that he’ll recover Nouli, the infamous engineer who built the century gates that protect the imperial capital of Valathea. But Nouli is imprisoned on the Remnant Isles, an impervious island prison run by the empire, and it’s Detan’s fault. 

Detan doesn’t dare approach Nouli himself, so his companions volunteer to get themselves locked up to make contact with Nouli and convince him to help. Now Detan has to break them all out of prison, and he’s going to need the help of a half-mad doppel to do it.

Featured Reviews

The second novel in the Scorched Continent series.
BREAK THE CHAINS is a great follow-up to STEAL THE SKY. The author expands upon the setting, and develops the characters very nicely. There's a prison break, plenty of action, good buddy-moments, and the story was gripping throughout. Definitely recommended.
