Bookroo's summary
In a world at war, Deryn, disguised as a boy, and Alek, an incognito heir, unite aboard the airship Leviathan. Their mission: to end the conflict between Darwinists and Clanker Powers. But when disaster strikes, they are stranded in hostile lands, hunted and alone. With only their wits and courage, they must forge new alliances and navigate treacherous paths. Can they alter the course of war, or will they fall victim to the very forces they seek to defeat?
From the publisher
The behemoth is the fiercest creature in the British navy. It can swallow enemy battleships with one bite. The Darwinists will need it, now that they are at war with the Clanker Powers. Deryn is a girl posing as a boy in the British Air Service, and Alek is the heir to an empire posing as a commoner. Finally together aboard the airship Leviathan, they hope to bring the war to a halt. But when disaster strikes the Leviathan’s peacekeeping mission, they find themselves alone and hunted in enemy territory. Alek and Deryn will need great skill, new allies, and brave hearts to face what’s ahead.
