The climactic conclusion to the Scorched Continent series, for all fans of Scott Lynch.

The explosive conclusion to a series that bridges steampunk sci-fi with the action of a heist thriller and the humor of a buddy comedy

Detan Honding is determined to survive this war, even when caught between not one but two besieging armies! After rescuing the renowned engineer Nouli from the clutches of the empire, the valiant rogue has returned to his aunt’s city—to find it under siege by Thratia’s army. With Nouli’s help, they manage to turn back the tide, at least until imperial forces descend, prepared to hammer the Thratian force against the anvil of the city’s walls. Worse yet, the imperial advance is aided by an elite force of dark magicians.

His aunt is forced to forge an uneasy alliance with Thratia to keep the city from falling back under imperial control—but Detan’s wary. While Thratia and his aunt bring their forces to bear against the new threat, Detan puts his own plans into motion—to ensure that when the final blow is dealt, Thratia and her army will find themselves on the other side of the city’s walls.

Praise for Inherit the Flame

Praise for the Scorched Continent series:

"O'Keefe's dialogue is as nimble as Detan's thieving fingers, and his inevitable tragic secrets lend needed gravitas to his wise-cracking, card-sharp persona...Green things may not last long in the Scorched, but with Steal the Sky, O'Keefe has cultivated fertile ground for the next books in her promising trilogy to grow."
-Jason Heller, NPR

"Megan O'Keefe's stories are always vivid and compelling."
- Tim Powers, author of Declare and Three Days to Never

"Megan O'Keefe's prose is so full of fascinating twists and delights, you won't want to put it down. Go ahead, open it up: I dare you!"
- David Farland, author of the bestselling Runelords series

"Blend two lovable rogues, a magical doppelganger, and a nasty empire,
and you have O'Keefe's Steal the Sky. It's like an epic steampunk Firefly."
- Beth Cato, author of The Clockwork Dagger

"Holy sh**ballz this was good. The storyline and world building were impeccable as were the depth of the characters that inhabited it. I am really looking forward to more from this author."
- Koeur's Book Reviews

"But there's something relentless about the pacing of the text, and it picks up ever-increasing speed from about the middle onward - and by the end, it's an absolute juggernaut of prose, which I couldn't stop reading. There's something for everyone - witty banter, realpolitik, elusive and wonderful magic, the occasional stabbing."
- Sci-Fi & Fantasy Reviews

"I can't wait to see what Dentan, Tibs and their gradually accumulated band of accomplices get up to next."
- Strange Alliances

"If you're looking for a fast read full of breezy dialogue, imaginative worldbuilding, and capers galore, Steal the Sky is definitely worth a look."
- Bookaneer

"A really enjoyable read. 4/5*"
- SFX Magazine
