Fate has not been kind to the captain of the airship Ketty Jay\u2014or his motley crew. They are all running from something. Crake is a daemonist in hiding, traveling with an armored golem and burdened by guilt. Jez is the new navigator, desperate to keep her secret from the rest of the crew. Malvery is a disgraced doctor, drinking himself to death. So when an opportunity arises to steal a chest of gems from a vulnerable airship, Frey can\u2019t pass it up. It\u2019s an easy take\u2014and the payoff will finally make him a rich man.<\/p>\n<p>But when the attack goes horribly wrong, Frey suddenly finds himself the most wanted man in Vardia, trailed by bounty hunters, the elite Century Knights, and the dread queen of the skies, Trinica Dracken. Frey realizes that they\u2019ve been set up to take a fall but doesn\u2019t know the endgame. And the ultimate answer for captain and crew may lie in the legendary hidden pirate town of Retribution Falls. That\u2019s if they can get there without getting blown out of the sky.<\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ecx.images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51F%2BQkmOLZL._SL500_AA300_.jpg\" border=\"0\"\/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Seduce-Me-Dreams-Three-Worlds\/dp\/0345517679\/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1300054188&amp;amp;sr=1-1\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"postlink\"><span style=\"font-style: italic\">Seduce Me in Dreams<\/span><\/a><br \/>\nby Jacquelyn Frank<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>From the <span style=\"font-style: italic\">New York Times<\/span> bestselling author of the Nightwalkers and Shadowdwellers series, <span style=\"font-style: italic\">Seduce Me in Dreams<\/span> begins a sexy new futuristic series featuring an elite group of military heroes.<\/p>\n<p>Dark.
