YA
In a steampunky post-Revolution America, the British and French dominate, which forces reluctant leader Charlotte (The Inventor's Secret) and gang to seek refuge with the Resistance in New Orleans. Unsure whom to trust, especially as multiple agendas arise regarding an assumed-dead friend, Charlotte's protective instincts triumph over duty. This transitional sequel lacks a standalone plot but not action, which steadily builds toward future adventure.
