Syren Skies

"I remember watching through tears, as my mother sailed away, abandoning me as a child she never once looked back. And she didn't return.

Who am I? What am I? Why did she leave me?

My mother was controversial even before her disappearance. Visionary or tyrant? Everyone has an opinion, but no one knows for sure. Now her last flight journal has turned up, on my twenty-first birthday, and I mean to follow the clues. Finally, I will discover the truth of what happened, why she left, and how she died.

Hence the recent purchase of my beautiful, if ever so slightly decrepit, airship, the Shonti Bloom. All I need is a crew and a damn flight licence. What could possibly go wrong?"

Nina's Swifts quest begins as a search for belonging. and ends as a desperate fight for freedom.

Discover the fascinating aerial steampunk world of Nina Swift, as she and her crew rove the remains of planet Earth in her beloved airship, the Shonti Bloom.

Nina will stop at nothing maybe, to thwart the plans of her nemeses, the nefarious Gaia cult, and discover the fate of her mother. What she finds, is worse than even she could imagine.

This novel is written in an intense first-person point of view, with direct access to the darkest corners of Nina's troubled mind.

A rip-roaring, swashed and buckled, full-broadsided steampunk advantage. Airships, betrayal, dastardly deeds, and steampunk mayhem what's not to like?

If you like Firefly, Killjoys, or the Expanse, you'll love Nina Swift.

"This is template Steampunk."

Appreciation for the Chronicles of Nina Swift:

"Nina really comes alive as a character, and the world is so beautiful and bustling that it feels real and alive. I definitely recommend taking the time to check out this series, especially if you are a fan of steampunk or dystopian novels." R Mac.

"Well-written and very entertaining. This was one of the most genuinely entertaining stories I've read in a long time. Nick Travers takes a common genre, Young Adult dystopia, and brings to it something unique. I'm not sure I've read something like this before, so kudos for originality. There are quite a few twists and he does such a great job writing tension and action."

"This is a fantastic story from a talented writer. The first-person perspective takes a bit to get used to, but, once you do, you'll realize it is actually perfect for this story. Nina takes on a life of her own, trekking through a futuristic world that seems so familiar and yet so foreign. Travers paints his world so vividly, that you can see the domes of the floating cities, hear the bustling of the airship docks, and feel the fraying of the rope in Nina's hands. With the cliff-hanger ending, I can only hope to see a sequel from Travers some-time in the future. Please?" I.Rose

"An excellent combination of fiction/fantasy! This book will keep you riveted! You won't want to put it down!" DaddyEvil

"Syren Skies is a non-stop action based adventure. I have never read a steampunk novel before and I am glad I picked this one as my first one to read. Very imaginative and hard to put down." T K Lopez

"This is probably the most amazing indie story I've ever read. The descriptive words used paint the picture so vividly it's almost as if I'm watching a movie and the words simply help narrate. Incredible!" Lyrical_love22 (Wattpad fan).

"Syren Skies is incredibly well crafted! Can't stop reading it." @Alkinea (Author of the Blue and Green Fairy Tales)
