Making a Tinderbox

Lady Elisandrine Falk wants a future beyond the conventional marriage expected of her. Nessa Clay wants to leave the security of her farming village and pursue a life of her own. Both are drawn towards Nightport, a city of gaslamps, steam-powered invention and dangers they do not yet understand. When circumstances bring them together, their different backgrounds matter less than the attraction developing between them. Accepting those feelings is another challenge, especially while mysterious men are searching for them. With help from new friends, Elise and Nessa investigate the city’s secrets and the possibility of magic, while trying to claim the freedom that brought them there.
