A steampunk journey toward war’s end

The concluding volume of Scott Westerfeld’s trilogy brings Alek and Deryn’s round-the-world journey into its final stretch. Their goals—ending World War I and restoring Alek’s claim to Austria’s throne—are complicated by the Leviathan’s detours, while Deryn’s concealed identity and the pair’s status as nominal enemies shape their relationship. The voyage turns toward New York City, where secrets and returning characters add new complications. Steampunk adventure and wartime politics meet a romance entangled with disguise and divided loyalties.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in steampunk fiction.
  • Readers who enjoy trilogy finales combining wartime adventure, political stakes, and romance.
  • Readers following Alek and Deryn’s story from the earlier books in the series.

Book overview

The riveting conclusion to Scott Westerfeld's New York Times bestselling trilogy that's "sure to become a classic" (School Library Journal).

Alek and Deryn are on the last leg of their round-the-world quest to end World War I, reclaim Alek's throne as prince of Austria, and finally fall in love. The first two objectives are complicated by the fact that their ship, the Leviathan, continues to detour farther away from the heart of the war (and crown). And the love thing would be a lot easier if Alek knew Deryn was a girl. (She has to pose as a boy in order to serve in the British Air Service.) And if they weren't technically enemies.
The tension thickens as the Leviathan steams toward New York City with a homicidal lunatic on board: Secrets suddenly unravel, characters reappear, and nothing is as it seems in this thunderous conclusion to Scott Westerfeld's brilliant trilogy.
