Aetherium: Fury of the Witch Queen (Book 5)

When the young witch Wren and her immortal tutor Omar arrive at two warring cities, they discover that war is the least their problems. Frozen corpses are erupting from the ground, an immortal warrior is causing havoc on the battlefield, and a mysterious old woman is the link between the two! While Omar battles a zombie army, Wren matches her wits and skills against the most powerful witch in the world, the immortal crone Baba Yaga. And when she dives into the witch queen's mind, Wren must battle not only the madness of Baba Yaga but the cruel ghosts of countless dead witches. But it's not all doom and gloom. A handsome young soldier has caught Wren's eye, and Omar has taught her more than a few new tricks, like how to command the aether mists. Although, even if she can defeat the other-worldly forces besieging the city, she must still contend with a vast armada of naval destroyers and deadly steampunk airships, and a warrior known as Koschei the Deathless! Welcome to the world of AETHERIUM, where wondrous machines sail the seas and the skies, enormous beasts roam the earth, and the restless dead whisper to the living. Similar to our own world in the sixteenth century, AETHERIUM explores a reality in which many of the megafauna did not die out, including terror birds and saber-toothed cats, and where a devastating Ice Age continues to ravage Europe while African queens rule over the most advanced nations in the world. But strangest of all may be the science of controlling the souls of the dead using a golden metal with many names: sunsteel, orichalcum, and... AETHERIUM!
