Kev is an average person living an uneventful life-just how he likes it-until the day he finds himself kidnapped by time-traveling slavers and thrusted into an unfamiliar world of airships, clockwork, and steam. Rescued by Millicent Darlington and her mismatched airship crew, Kev finds himself taking part in adventures he could never have imagined. In spite of his growing feelings for the ship's medic, Persephone Mockett, Kev knows he must return to his own time and his own life and his own family, only to discover it's not as straightforward as he's been told.
