Inhaltsangabe

Abyrinth's Fire is about Europe in an alternate timeline that diverged in the 1800's. Kings still rule, and the nobility wields real power. The main sources of energy are advanced steam engines and Abyrinth. Abyrinth can move machines in the hands of the channelers, but those of noble birth are given a 'brand' on their eighteenth birthday that will impart them with a random power. Some are mundane, but others are fantastically powerful.

Jafra Sobieski passes the trials and is given one of the strongest brands in all Europa. She will need it as the Rus are invading her beloved Polska. After a tragedy, she joins her older brothers in the military, using their incredible powers to fight back the invaders. She must also be wary of secret societies that will try to control her, or if that fails, kill her.

Her parents are seeking a husband for her, a political match that would strengthen their house, but she becomes torn between two men. Both want her, but for different reasons. Should she choose the man her mother prefers, or should she choose a man who would kill or die for her?

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

I've been writing on and off since grade school, but in the second half of my life, I am determined to tell my stories to as many people as possible. I was born in Naples, Italy, and grew up in Southwest Michigan, right on the lake. I joined the Marines right out of high school, and for six years, I lived in Southern CA and Japan. After my tour, I enrolled in business school at California State University, Fullerton. I got a BA in International Business, with a concentration in Japanese.I've had my own business for almost ten years and for the last several years, I've been both Financial Customer Service and a licensed Financial Advisor. My passions are traveling and I've been all over Asia. My other passion, of course, is writing. I've written 6 books.
