Blazing Blunderbuss

When twenty-year-old genius Hara is betrayed by her father and sent to prison, she never expects to be released into a dangerous and unpredictable world. But when she is freed, she finds herself wandering the Wyvern Empire, a place where dragons hold all the power. One fateful day, Hara comes across a group of Roshian revolutionaries known as Rosh Barkers, holding Gideon, a shapeshifting dragon who is a professor of maths, captive. Hara, using her wit and resourcefulness, rescues Gideon and inadvertently steals a pirate airship during their escape, setting themselves on a high-flying adventure.
As they work together to unravel the secrets behind an ancient dragon-hunting machine, evade the pirate crew and Roshian revolutionaries, Hara's feelings for Gideon transform from initial tolerance into a quiet passion that burns through every lie she's been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the dragons.
With a romance and heavy steampunk influence, "Blazing Blunderbuss" is a must-read for fans of fantasy, science fiction, and steampunk romance.
