Before reading this book I thought the Mongolian steppes were like this:
Now I realize they can also be like this:
Animals of the Mongolian Steppe
Short legged camels.
Or a link for a closer look at camels and dogs (I love dogs!) with their owners.
Mongolian yak.
Short legged horses.
And a link entitled eagle hunter.
Another link to plain mongole and last, but not least, a good Sheppard and his angora goat.
Going through book, starting with Chapter 5.

This was my first foray into the historical/fantasy/steam punk genre, and if they are all this well done, I think I've been missing out! This is the first book in a long time that I'm sharing with my Dad because of the unusual outer Mongolia setting, unique Blades of the Rose secret society protecting artifacts, and Indiana Jones-like hero and plot. I won book #2 in the series from Tessa Dare and I just can't wait for it to get here so I can dive in! Gabriel Huntley may be one of my top-10 favor

The adventure, action-sequence and hero/heroine romance made me think I was watching a movie ala Indiana Jones. It was exhilarating and I can't wait to read the next book, Scoundrel!

I wasn't sure what to expect going into this one but I found a highly enjoyable story full of action, magic and romance!
