Leopard Ascending — Emma Jane Holloway

When courage and a crack shot aren't enoughAfter violence shatters Miranda Fletcher's world, she swears to protect those she loves. An air captain's daughter, she has courage enough to battle hungry monsters. Now a different threat hides among them—one much harder to destroy. Miranda seeks out her rebel brother, Gideon, for aid. A private inquiry agent, he's searching for victims no one else dares to find. When one of his father's airships is blown from the sky, Gideon suspects his cases are linked to the disaster, and his family is the villain's new target. Danger hides everywhere—in gaslit clubs and drawing rooms, in the secret halls of the mages, and among the monsters of the forest. Uncovering the city's dire truth could cost Miranda and Gideon their lives—or condemn them to a fate more terrible than the grave.
