In a world where stars are myths and clocks and maps forbidden, the stars are about to guide again. Airship captain Davy Bowditch wants to build a Star Clock so man won't be dependent on the Time King and his automaton navigators, but to do that, he'll need the help of one very unusual woman—if he can convince her he didn't kidnap her on purpose—and an airship pirate—if he can convince him he didn't kill his son.
