Anchorage's giant engines fell silent.

The city no longer roams the icy wastelands, but has settled in the area once called America. The founders of the family, Tom Natsworthy and Hester Shaw, live happily here, but their daughter Wren, dissatisfied with the safe everyday life of the stagnant city, longs for adventure. A dangerously handsome pirate offers him an escape from boredom, and Wren doesn't hesitate to take the opportunity. But nothing is free: as payment, the girl must steal the mysterious Tin Book. However, he has no idea that with this he can start a war that will set the whole world on fire.

The penultimate volume of the Predatory Cities series, which has captivated the imagination of legions of readers around the world, Infernal Machines further raises the stakes and prepares the ground for the series' all-sweeping finale.
