Cold Copper: (3 Age of Steam)

In steam age America, men, monsters, machines, and magic battle to claim the same scrap of earth and sky. In this madness, one man struggles to keep his humanity, his honor, and his hell-bent mission intact.... Bounty hunter and lycanthrope Cedar Hunt vowed to track down all seven pieces of the Holder--a strange device capable of deadly destruction. And, accompanied by witch Mae Lindson and the capricious Madder brothers, he sets out to do just that. But the crew is forced to take refuge in the frontier town of Des Moines, Iowa, when a glacial storm stops them in their tracks. The town, under mayor Killian Vosbrough, is ruled with an iron fist--and plagued by the steely Strange, creatures that pour through the streets like the unshuttered wind. But Cedar soon learns that Vosbrough is mining cold copper for the cataclysmic generators he's manufacturing deep beneath Des Moines, bringing the search for the Holder to a halt. Chipping through ice, snow, and bone-chilling bewitchment to expose a dangerous plot, Cedar must stop Vosbrough and his scheme to rule the land and sky....

Review :
Praise for Devon Monk's The Age of Steam Novels "Dead Iron is a must read."--New York Times bestselling author Keri Arthur "A relentless western and a gritty steampunk, bound together by wicked magic. The action is superb, the stakes are sky-high, and the passion runs wild. Who knew cowboys and gears could be this much fun? Devon Monk rocks--her unique setting and powerful characters aren't to be missed!"--New York Times bestselling author Ilona Andrews "A novel and interesting take on the steampunk tropes, with generous nods to other genres, and plenty of odd but human characters and Mad Science."--New York Times bestselling author S.M. Stirling "Werewolves, witches, and creatures of both flesh and metal clash in a scarred land stitched together with iron rails--a steampunk world so real I could almost smell the grease and hear the gears grind. Beautifully written and brilliantly imagined."--New York Times bestselling author Rachel Vincent "A magnificent tale of Edenic mountains, steam-powered assassins, deathless love and transformation. Fast paced, tricksy, turning from one extreme to another, the reader will be drawn ever deeper into the ticking, dripping iron heart of this story."--Jay Lake, award-winning author of Green
