Copper Road
Two women from vastly different lives struggle to save their worlds. Erin fights to stop an alien invasion force, while Aideen confronts boardroom skullduggery, murder attempts and family betrayal.
Erin is an interdimensional traveler who carries a magical book her family has safeguarded for generations. She and copper-hunter Trevian must find and close the portal the invaders are using. How far has the invasion spread? Who can they trust?
Aideen's father, Oswald, is the richest man in White Bluffs. His company harvests energy from fire elementals. Her brother Trevian fled their home two years ago, hunting for magical metals. Even though Oswald kept Trevian as his heir, Aideen taught herself the operations of the company. Now, with Oswald unconscious after a suspicious accident, Aideen is battling bandits and corporate raiders-and some of them are family.
Copper Road picks up where the novella "Aluminum Leaves" left off, filled with magic books, bandits, mind-controlling parasites, boardroom betrayals, lesbian lovers, charms and chocolate.
