Publisher's Synopsis
The Grand Tour. A time of adventure and discovery, a trip that has occupied Henry Marten's mind for many a month. Now, with the journey fast approaching, everything changes.
Gone is his friend and trusted traveling companion, replaced by a stranger named William Bridgeman. This man has little interest in the great sights of Europe, for something else occupies Mr. Bridgeman's mind. Magic.
Through him, Henry discovers a strange new world hidden among the great cities of the Continent, a world of spirits, dangers, and an ever-growing wasteland of Ash.
