Publisher's summary

A new world offered Felicity Grant hope of riches, plentiful forests, and an arranged wedding engagement - but no one mentioned the monsters.

Felicity’s father squanders the family fortune, then decides to travel across the sea to build a new life. She leaves behind her world of airships and automatons for one of the horse-drawn buggies. When the Grants arrive at port, they find it deserted. Meals are half-eaten on the tables, and fires smolder in the cookhouse. However, the inhabitants are still out there, only they’ve changed - and they’re hungry.

The undead rotters tear through the steamship’s crew and passengers, and nothing seems to be able to stop them, not even cutting off their heads - Felicity knows; she tried. Seeking answers to destroying the rotters dressed in ragged uniforms tosses Felicity in the middle of a battle between the primitive tribes native to the land and the high-tech militia seeking to conquer them.

With desolation, the only thing remaining for her in the old world, Felicity must pick up a gun and make sure she survives the new one.

Interesting Story

I enjoyed the story for the most part. It’s obvious how young Felicity Grant is! I thought she was going full native! And Jack has to really love her! I’m going to see if I am find more by this author

Steampunk? SciFi? HistFi? Romance? Fantasy?

N.B. I received a free copy of this book via freeaudiobookcodes.com. I was unfamiliar with the Welsh title, but did look it up (deep longing for something). This was an interesting book. I really enjoyed it, but can't really place the genre. It has aspects of historical fiction, SciFi/steampunk, romance, fantasy, zombie horror, etc. I wasn't sure if the new world in the book was another continent or a different planet entirely, but I lean towards the former. I wish there had been more of a resolution with the native love interest, but maybe that's handled in a later book in the series. The narrator's accent has a lovely musical quality that really lends well to the story. Overall, I really enjoyed this book.
