Review
A fantasy lover’s delight by a new teenage talent, Lucy Saxon.
Cat Hunter is the daughter of a senior government official. But when she decides to leave her life of luxury and the imminent marriage to the brat son of another senior government official behind her, she discovers that life is not all that it seems.
Cat, dressed as a boy, stows away on the skyship Stormdancer where she meets the gorgeous Fox and is quickly taken in by him and the rest of the small crew.
She soon discovers that the government has been filling the people with lies about a war that finished years earlier, and experimenting on children to turn them into fighting machines.
Can Cat and her team show the world the truth and overthrow the corrupt government?
Pitted against her heartless father, how far will Cat be prepared to go?
