Book 2 of the Gears of the Sun duology!

Dragonfly warrior, Odonata Luna of Mōnalene, is determined to mend the broken bond between her moon and the sun, but at what cost? Her mission to align with the enemy has caused great division among her people, as well as an ever-growing feeling of isolation as she carries onward. Even worse, the survival of Emmeline Dawes—her unexpected cohort in creating an alliance with the sun—was uncertain, and if her attempt to save this beloved, noble Solarpunk fails, her mission to establish unity could instead lead to a greater war between the sun and the moon.
Discovery of evil forces manipulating and threatening the delicate workings of their existence strengthens Luna’s resolve, and the choice for her stubborn opposers and enemies becomes imperative: align or perish.

The Friends We Keep is a story that addresses the complexities of friendship—the sense of community, companionship, and joy it adds to our lives, but also the stress and confusion it can cause when there is conflict within our friendships.

Solarpunks rule the sun. Among them are four factions: Thermapunks, Aeropunks, Terrapunks, and Hydropunks. Together, they protect the source flame and deliver warmth to the universe beyond. Though they work in precise harmony to keep the golden gears of Quintessence churning, the relationships between them are strained by class warfare and a social hierarchy that often leaves the Thermapunks with ultimate control. The only thing keeping their delicate alliances intact is the ever-present threat of moon monsters who wish to steal the source flame.Emmeline Dawes is destined for greatness as a Thermapunk, but when an outside force cripples her sense of self and challenges everything she was trained to believe, she begins to question the world around her. Is her greatest foe truly from a faraway moon? Or does the enemy live within herself? Gears of the Sun is a sci-fi drama with an elemental steampunk twist that examines the fragile nature of separating a blessing from a curse.
