Publisher's Synopsis
Finalist for Independent Authors Network's Book of the Year 2015 in Fantasy.
What started out as a good, solid series only picks up steam (pun intended) as it heads into Book 2 of the Yellow Hoods SteamPunk series. Adam Dreece begins to up the ante with more inventions, more action, and more adventure. (Amazon.com)
Breadcrumb Trail, the second book in the series, is a fast-paced roller-coaster of fun and feels. (Amazon.com)
In an act of desperation, inventor Maxwell Watt entrusts his son to secretly deliver plans for his completed steam engine to Nikolas Klaus, a master inventor in another kingdom. When the Fare, the nefarious secret society, learns the game-changing invention's plans are en route, they accelerate their own scheme to neutralize Klaus on their path to reclaiming long-lost control over kingdoms.
Meanwhile, after a decade of relative tranquility in Mineau, local children have started to go missing--again. Captain Archambault suspects the return of the disturbing and depraved Ginger Lady. With the help of Tee, Elly, and Richy--the Yellow Hoods--the search is on to find the missing children before it is too late.
What is the secret that ties one of the Yellow Hoods to the Ginger Lady?
Who are the Red Hoods?
The world is 1800s-eque, with a thrilling history that is discovered throughout the series. Elements of fairy-tales are woven in, as if these were the real world events that inspired the tales and rhymes we know.
