Oliver Brooks
has led a sheltered life in the home of
his merchant uncle. But when he is framed
for his only relative's murder he is forced
to flee for his life. He is accompanied
by Harry Stave, an agent of the Court of
the Air - a shadowy organization independent
of the government that acts as the final
judiciary of the land, ensuring that order
prevails.
Chased across the country, Oliver finds
himself in the company of thieves, outlaws
and spies, and gradually learns more about
the secret that has blighted his life, but
which may also offer him the power to avert
the coming catastrophe.
Their enemies are ruthless and myriad,
but Molly and Oliver are joined by indomitable
friends in this endlessly inventive tale
full of drama, intrigue and adventure.
