From the author’s website:

Prince Aleksander, would-be heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, is on the run. His own people have turned on him. His title is worthless. All he has is a battletorn war machine and a loyal crew of men.

Deryn Sharp is a commoner, disguised as a boy in the British Air Service. She’s a brilliant airman. But her secret is in constant danger of being discovered.

With World War I brewing, Alek and Deryn’s paths cross in the most unexpected ways, taking them on a fantastical, around-the-world adventure that will change both their lives forever.

Leviathan is an opportunity to do all sorts of steampunk related crafts. Participants can also take inspiration from Keith Thompson’s illustrations to design their own mechanical war machines or genetically engineered war beasts. From Joseph Cornell inspired boxes depicting scenes from the books to etched altoids tins, there’s no shortage of inspiration.
