Following her parents' disappearance, Gwyndolyn Carstairs dreams of joining the hallowed halls of the Astro-Archaeology Guild just like they did. But when the map she painstakingly and diligently plotted goes missing-and with it all hopes of presenting to the Guild-she sees everything she longed for evaporate.
Realising there is someone with the temerity to enter her locked office, she follows her erstwhile colleague, Dr Nicodemus Aster, to the airship dock. There, a sudden storm thrusts her into an unwanted quest, and far away from everything she has ever known.
When adventure and academia collide, fuelled by secrets and lies, Gwyndolyn will need to rely on her deepest instincts and inner strength. Only then will she discover who to trust-and uncover the mystery of her parents' vanishing-if she is to obtain what her heart desires the most.
Estelle Tudor is an award-winning, multi-genre author from the true land of myth and legend: Wales, where she lives with her husband, four children and doggy writing companion. When not writing or reading, she loves exploring castles and even worked in one for six years. There sparked a love of history and the grandeur of the past, which she now loves to weave into her own stories.
Airships, romance and a sprinkle of Indiana Jones style adventure. I really enjoyed reading Archaeology of the Stars. I loved Gwynnie's strong independent character and her determination to prove herself in the male dominated Astro Archaeology Guild.
Absolutely adored this book. If you like treasure hunts, a feisty FMC, and a handsome 'sky' pirate then this is for you and you won't be disappointed. The characters stayed with me for some time after I'd closed the book - that doesn't happen that often!
