Frail Contraptions

Brayde's world shatters when Captain Xanthe and Avilene are captured by the Tyrians. The Carpathia, crippled and grounded in the icy mountains, faces insurmountable odds. Rescue seems impossible. Brayde's last hope lies with a band of mysterious rebels. But can he trust them to help him reclaim his crew?

Trapped in a brutal work camp, Avilene endures relentless torment from the guards, stripped of her freedom, her magic, and any means to contact the Carpathia. Her reunion with Captain Xanthe is tainted by the Tyrians' sinister plot to break her spirit and use her against her friends. Her defiance leads to a grim fate in a corrupt hospital where there’s only one way out: the morgue.

In this gripping second installment, the stakes are higher, the enemies more ruthless, and the line between friend and foe blurred. Will Brayde find the strength to rally the rebels and rescue his captain and crew, or will the Tyrian Empire crush their hopes?
