The Airship Racing Chronicles
2 primary works
Book 1
London, 1823.
It has been one of the worst days in Lily Stargazer's life. She lost the London leg of the World Airship Grand Prix. A harlequin shoved a kaleidoscope down her pants, told her to fly to Venice, then threw himself from her airship tower. And her lover, Lord Byron, is living in exile abroad. What's a girl to do? For Lily, the answer is easy: drink absinthe and smoke opium.
Lily's efforts to drown her problems fail miserably, and she soon finds herself at the heart of an ancient mystery which has her running from her past and chasing true love along the way.
Dive into Melanie Karsak's award-winning steampunk universe, and meet the lovable but damaged airship racer Lily Stargazer and her crew.
**Adult novel. Due to depictions of alcohol/drug use and steamy scenes, this novel is intended for mature readers.
Book 2
A sabotaged airship.
A recovering opium addict.
A messenger with life-shattering news.
With the 1824 British airship qualifying race only weeks away, Lily Stargazer is at the top of her game. She’s racing like a pro, truly in love, and living clean. But on one ill-omened day, everything changes.
Pulled head-long into the ancient secrets of the realm, Lily soon finds herself embroiled in Celtic mysteries and fairy lore. And she’s not quite sure how she got there, or even if she wants to be involved. But Lily soon finds herself chasing the spirit of the realm while putting her own ghosts to rest. And only accepting the truth–about her heart and her country–can save her.
