In the Wild West, you always find more than you’re looking for...
Daisy Linden and her sister Frederica now have a recent trail to follow in the search for their missing father in the steampunk Wild West. They’re assisted by new friends and old, and love is more than merely a dream. Still, perils both natural and social lie in wait for them …
A visit to the Royal Kingdom of Spain and the Californias is interrupted by an earthquake—and they are embroiled in an attempt to overthrow the young Viceroy’s reign. No sooner do they glimpse their father than he is thrown in gaol for murder, and it is up to them to find the real killer. And just when hopes rise and happiness seems possible, an attack by air pirates throws their lives and those they love into jeopardy.
Can bravery, friendship, and the unbreakable bonds of love outlast whatever the world may throw at them … even murder?
