"Out of the Shadows features great prose, a gripping plot, and characters that will remain with readers long after they are done reading the story." ~Reader's FavoriteEditorial Review: "Dana Fraedrich has a vast eye for details and a flawless knack with complex relationships.
This world is primarily steampunk, but traces of fantasy and paranormal are in the background, staying in the shadows as these characters are forced to hide certain aspects of their lives. Lenore is often judged for her status, age, and for being a woman, but she doesn't let the world define her. She uses it to create a mask to hide behind, but this doesn't take away from her brazen, opinionated, and spunky personality.
Into the Fire is a riveting adventure that will hook you from page one, with a strong-willed heroine, complex characters, romance, and complicated relationships." Buy the collection now to enter a steam-powered world of secrets!
