About the Books. Mortal Engines opens the saga as Tom Natsworthy, a young apprentice historian aboard the great Traction City of London, is flung into the wastelands after a mysterious assassin attacks the city's revered Head Historian. Hunted across a shattered landscape, Tom teams up with the fierce, disfigured Hester Shaw, and together they uncover secrets threatening every city on the Great Hunting Ground. Predator's Gold follows the pair as they flee London for Anchorage, a static city besieged by plague and ghostly visions. Infernal Devices widens the Traction Era's scope, introducing Tom and Hester's daughter Wren and the sinister underwater city of Grimsby. A Darkling Plain concludes the quartet, following Wren and Tom by airship across the Bird Roads as a discovery in London's wreckage forces a reckoning with Hester's past. Across all four novels, Reeve blends breathless action with genuinely moving character arcs in a world that feels both fantastical and eerily plausible..
