Broken Cities #1
Copper Road
Two women from vastly different lives struggle to save their worlds. Erin fights to stop an alien invasion force, while Aideen confronts boardroom skullduggery, murder attempts and family betrayal.
Erin is an interdimensional traveler who carries a magical book her family has safeguarded for generations. She and copper-hunter Trevian must find and close the portal the invaders are using. How far has the invasion spread? Who can they trust?
Aideen’s father, Oswald, is the richest man in White Bluffs. His company harvests energy from fire elementals. Her brother Trevian fled their home two years ago, hunting for magical metals. Even though Oswald kept Trevian as his heir, Aideen taught herself the operations of the company. Now, with Oswald unconscious after a suspicious accident, Aideen is battling bandits and corporate raiders—and some of them are family.
Copper Road picks up where the novella “Aluminum Leaves” left off, filled with magic books, bandits, mind-controlling parasites, boardroom betrayals, lesbian lovers, charms and chocolate.

Intriguing world, in peril
I really enjoyed the puzzles and adventures of Copper Road. Worlds collide, social roles get upended, and smart characters we can root for have a heck of a lot to figure out. Everything from whether a bitter cup of hot chocolate is an invitation or a rebuff to whether spooky pink bio-mecho mind-controlling things are for real, and what world they come from. And, no, there is no way to save your world, or your legacy, without falling in love. A very fun read.

This much anticipated sequel to Aluminum Leaves has it all: adventure, romance, magic, mind-controlling parasites, corporate intrigue, heroic horses, charms, and, not least, chocolate. The well-drawn characters include three strong and resourceful heroines and a dashing hero who will win readers' hearts. A very fun read for lovers of speculative fiction and beyond.
