Lady Elizabeth Dorn - beautiful, intelligent, heroic, passionate, loyal to those she loves, and utterly lethal. A femme fatale in more ways than one.
Sean Hayden takes his protagonist and weaves her into an elegant, strong story that grips you from the first word. His steampunk is delightfully refined and while it would have been very easy to turn Lady Dorn into a caricature of the standard ass-kicking hair-flicking scantily-clad leading lady of so many action-led stories, he has instead treated...more

A fantastic tale, superbly written in the steampunk genre, with vamps too of course. I loved Lady Dorn, but strong women are always my favorites :) Despite being a short the world is very well evolved and described, the characters are unique and wonderful. Beware Haydens works... they will draw you in and never let you go. Looking forward to more from this author!

i have never read steampunk until i managed to get a copy of lady dorn. i'm now hooked on the genre and sean hayden writing. if you haven't read it yet i suggest that you do.
it is only a short story. sean hayden manages to create a world, while huge in scale, in a way that doesn't alienate the newbies to the genre.

Really nicely done steampunk short. Strong female protagonist, well drawn characters, engaging world. Thoroughly enjoyable read.
Great short! I'm gotta say I'm really loving Mr. Hayden's work. Haven't read much steam punk and this has me ready to ask my friends for more recs!
Good short story. And the price is right for 99 cents on kindle.
This was a great short read
Great short! Another home run hit out of the park!
