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.
