Mission to Mightadore

Then Seline's mother, Molly, went missing in suspicious circumstances. So she's been raised as a ward of King Steam

in the Steamman Free State, far away from the potential perils of her home in the Jackelian Kingdom.

Raised in relative solitude among the machine race . . . until an old friend of the family, the steamman scientist Coppertracks, turns up in the capital with news of the most amazing discovery. It will set Seline and her companions off on a dangerous adventure to the mysterious and distant Mightadore.

There's only one problem with Seline's destination.

Many are those brave souls who have set out to reach the legendary city. But, nobody has ever come back alive from the trip to describe what they found!
