Tinderbox Under Winter Stars
The Tinderbox Tales Series, Book 2
By Emma Sterner-Radley
Elise and Nessa have escaped the clutches of the Queen, but are they going out of the fire into the frying pan?
Lady Elise Falk and Nessa Clay have happily taken on new identities as a married couple and boarded a steamship to Storsund, a land of frost faires, sprawling cities, and corrupt organizations.
As they settle in and make friends – some funnier than others – are Nessa and Elise safe under these frozen winter stars? And will their relationship survive, while they must check every shadow to gauge what is paranoia and what is real threat.
Under the old stars, but never far away, the villainous Queen of Arclid has her own threats to battle.
As events unfold, Elise and Nessa must overcome their personal issues and challenge themselves. Because now, it is not only their fates that hang in the balance, but also that of two nations.
If you enjoy romantic fantasy with a dash of steam and magic, Tinderbox Under Winter Stars, part two of The Tinderbox Tales is waiting for you.
