Brought to the flying city of Highgate when he was only five years old, orphan Milo Quick has never known another home. Now almost thirteen, Milo survives one daredevil grift at a time, relying only on his wit, speed, and best friends Jules and Dagda.
A massive armada has surrounded Highgateโs crumbling armaments. Because behind locked doorsโin opulent parlors and pneumatic forests and a master toymakerโs workshopโthe once-great flying city protects a powerful secret, hidden away for centuries. A secret thatโs about to ignite a war. One small airship, the Halcyon, has slipped through the ominous blockade on a mission to collect Miloโand the rich bounty on his headโbefore the fighting begins. But the members of the Halcyonโs misfit crew arenโt the only ones chasing Milo Quick.
