Background
[edit]The story picks off not long after the conclusion of A Web of Air and will once again follow the series' main character Fever Crumb, an ex London engineer.
One of Philip Reeve's blog posts shed some light on the series before its release. Crumb's true journey is set to begin, starting at the newly reconstructed city of London, which has become a fledgling Traction City.
The Arkangelsk return to the series in this book but will be shown in an entirely different light than their descendants who were prominent antagonists in the original Mortal Engines Quartet.
Synopsis
