The search for the merchant's daughter continues as Culainn crosses the mountains into the frozen north... home, to face his past and the many demons he left behind.
Striking a bargain with the witch-queen, Neeve, he agrees to fight her enemies, the Shadow Druids and Blue-Woads, in return for her aid in freeing the girl he seeks. Will she keep her word, or has she treachery in mind?

Perpetual Motion
Bruce Hesselbach
After Sybil Hardenbergh's time-travelling parents save Fritz von Lassberg from drowning, Sybil fears that Fritz may be helping Germany prepare to defeat England in the Great War, and, what is worse, that she is falling in love with him.
“An exciting tale of invention and a race to change history ... A timeless, satisfying storyline that stayed with me.” Elizabeth G Macalaster, author of Reckoning At Hart's Pass.
“Perpetual Motion is a story with all the classic elements you expect of steampunk fiction--gears and gadgets and intriguing inventions and gorgeous architecture, to name a few--but it shakes them up, gives them a twist, and with a generous splash of sci-fi and time travel thrown in you get a highly original, thoroughly engrossing novel that is unlike anything you've ever read before.” Mary Ruth Pursselley.
The Ultimate Inferior Beings
Mark Roman

“A little gem. A rip-roaring read with bundles of hilarity.”
“A funny, fun quick read.”
“Even the appendices are witty.”
“A real mind strgnardorf!”
