When Red Riding Hood decided to catch herself a royal. Every time someone opens a storybook and reads the four magical words "Once upon a time," my granny gets eaten a few hours later. Boy, it sucks!

Now a girl named Emma needs me. I probably shouldn’t get involved, but her gorgeous stepsister is conniving to the core.

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 Airforce.) And if they weren’t technically enemies. The tension thickens as the Leviathan steams toward New York City with a homicidal lunatic on board....

A decade ago, she and her father were servants at Everless, the Gerlings' palatial estate, until a fateful accident forced them to flee in the dead of night.

Sheesh... Vampires can be like children sometimes. In our quest to unite the underworld against the coming flood of darkness, a visit to Darkeum Cove was first on the list. Although I would hardly call the Noctem island a popular vacation spot, it had to be done. Uniting the underworld meant uniting everyone, and that included the same vampires who would just assume I disappeared forever.

At least, that was we assumed before an official challenge to his authority...
