It is the cusp of World War I.
The Austro-Hungarians and Germans have their Clankers, steam-driven iron machines loaded with guns and ammunition.
The British Darwinists employ genetically fabricated animals as their weaponry.
Their Leviathan is a whale airship, and the most masterful beast in the British fleet.
Aleksandar Ferdinand, a Clanker, and Deryn Sharp, a Darwinist, are on opposite sides of the war.
But their paths cross in the most unexpected way, taking them both aboard the Leviathan on a fantastical, around-the-world adventure.
One that will change both their lives forever.
