Synopsis
Pistol Rose and the Wedding that Sparked a War is the first book in the novel series An Anthem of Ash and Pistols.
In a steampunk dystopia, marriage is illegal. It is punished by death.
Pistol Rose and Clock Dancin throw their wedding in secret, but a traitor amongst their families reports them to the tyrant king.
Their act of rebellion grows into a war for the freedom of their country.
In this strange and medieval future with odd technology, killers, liars, and wilderuckers, the strongest weapon is love. But it comes with a heavy cost.
The Bad Histories is an interview-style prequel story that chronicles the misadventures of two would-be historians who risk everything to put the world’s disputed past to paper once and for all.
Rocita Oro Cita, an ambitious wartime journalist, and her wryly witted scribe Domf Eerie, set about the dangerous--some call it foolhardy--task of gathering a definitive history for their time.
But the people they interview are more troublesome than truthful. Their efforts to create a unifying historical text to settle world disputes once and for all brings calls for death upon both their heads.
But they don't know how to stop.
