"Secrets in the Mist has it all: zeppelins, sky pirates, a fearless heroine who finds a home in the clouds, and a dangerously curious hero with haunting family secrets. It’s Mortal Engines meets steampunk zombies and I’m here for it! This story is just as much an enchanting adventure for the reader as it is for the characters." — Nadine Brandes, award-winning author of A Time to Die, Fawkes, and Romanov

"Wow. Morgan Busse’s new book, Secrets in the Mist, is filled with steam-powered action and intrigue from the first page to the last. With echoes of a gender-swapped "Peter Pan" heroine, and a benevolent "Captain Hook," Busse’s endearing characters must navigate a hierarchy between rich and poor that spans from forest floor to floating islands in the sky—all while a mysterious Mist continues to spread a dangerous, centuries-old plague. I can’t wait to read the next book!" — Merrie Destefano, award-winning author of Shade

"A delightfully unique setting and heroes that feel like friends. Oh, and zombies! . . . and metal men! Secrets in the Mist is worth sharing. I recommend it!" — Kerry Nietz, award-winning author of Amish Vampires in Space

"If you’re not yet a fan of Morgan Busse, you’re about to become one! Secrets in the Mist is a fast-paced jaunt through a vivid steampunk world as thrilling as it is eerie. The world-building is confident without being heavy-handed. The book lives up to its title, giving us two good-hearted heroes who try to make sense of—and even subvert—a society based on secrets, power, and greed. It’s a fun story, never losing steam—couldn’t resist the pun—while making subtle points about politics, class, and human nature. Mostly, it’s just a great romp through Skyworld, a place I can’t wait to revisit in the sequel!" — Eric Wilson, New York Times bestselling author of the Jerusalem’s Undead Trilogy
