Description

The year is 1914 and the world is on the brink of war. Steam-powered machines called Clankers are pitted against genetically engineered animals in a battle for supremacy. Against this backdrop, an unlikely alliance forms between two young people from opposing sides: Aleksandar Ferdinand, a skilled Clanker, and Deryn Sharp, a talented Darwinist.

When their paths cross, they find themselves on the most extraordinary adventure aboard the Leviathan, a massive whale airship that will take them on an around-the-world journey. As they navigate treacherous skies and unexpected challenges, their lives will be forever changed by the experiences they share on this fantastical voyage.

This gripping tale of friendship and discovery is set against the tumultuous backdrop of World War I, where the boundaries between science and magic are about to be pushed to new limits.
