Europe at war! The battle between steam driven mechanical technology and
DNA-altered, fabricated animal technology has finally come to a head. It's 1914
and the Archduke of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is dead – assassinated. His
son, and heir, Alek, is fleeing from his own people in a clanker, called a
Cyklop Stormwalker, with a few loyal men. On the other side of the ocean, a
girl named Deryn hides her gender and signs on as a midshipman on the huge
British battle beast, the Leviathan. But when a battle with the Germans causes
Leviathan to crash near Alek's hideout, the two cross paths and find that they
must work together to survive.
