Stormdancer is the first in an epic new fantasy series,
introducing an unforgettable heroine and a stunningly
original dystopian steampunk world with a flavor of feudal
Japan
The Shima Imperium verges on the brink of environmental
collapse; an island nation once rich in tradition and myth,
now decimated by clockwork industrialization and the
machine-worshipers of the Lotus Guild. When hunters of
Shima's imperial court are charged by their Shōgun to
capture a legendary griffin, they fear their lives are over.
Any fool knows the beasts have been extinct for more than a
century, and the price of failing the Shōgun is death.
Accompanying her father on the Shōgun’s hunt, the girl
Yukiko finds herself stranded: a young woman alone in
Shima’s last wilderness, with only a furious, crippled
griffin for company. Even though she can hear his thoughts,
even though she saved his life, all she knows for certain is
he’d rather see her dead than help her. But together, the
pair will form an indomitable friendship, and rise to
challenge the might of an empire.
