Seline Templar hasn't experienced an easy life. First, her father died for reasons that have been shockingly concealed from her. Then Seline's mother, Molly, went missing in suspicious circumstances. So she's been raised as a ward of King Steam
in the Steamman Free State, far away from the potential perils of her home in the Jackelian Kingdom.
Raised in relative solitude among the machine race . . . until an old friend of the family, the steamman scientist Coppertracks, turns up in the capital with news of the most amazing discovery. It will set Seline and her companions off on a dangerous
adventure to the mysterious and distant Mightadore.
There's only one problem with Seline's destination. Many are those brave souls who have set out to reach the legendary city. But, nobody has ever come back alive from the trip to describe what they found!

REVIEWS
Praise for Stephen Hunt's novels:
'Mr. Hunt takes off at racing speed.'

- TOM HOLT
'All manner of bizarre and fantastical extravagance.'
- DAILY MAIL
'Compulsive reading for all ages.'
- GUARDIAN
'Studded with invention.'

'To say this book is action packed is almost an understatement... a wonderful escapist yarn!'
- INTERZONE
'Hunt has packed the story full of intriguing gimmicks... affecting and original.'
- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
'A rip-roaring Indiana Jones-style adventure.'
- RT BOOK REVIEWS
'A curious part-future blend.'
- KIRKUS REVIEWS
'An inventive, ambitious work, full of wonders and marvels.'
- THE TIMES
'Hunt knows what his audience like and gives it to them with a sardonic wit and carefully developed tension.'
- TIME OUT
'A ripping yarn ... the story pounds along... constant inventiveness keeps the reader hooked... the finale is a cracking succession of cliffhangers and surprise comebacks. Great fun.'
- SFX MAGAZINE
'Put on your seatbelts for a frenetic cat and mouse encounter... an exciting tale.'
