New Babylon is the capital of a powerful Second Empire. Airships hover over the city, steam locomotives race along the railroads, and factory chimneys never stop smoking. And yet, science is not supreme without question. Magic has not disappeared from the world—it is still dissolved in the blood of those called the S i g n o r s.

It is difficult for convinced mechanists to accept this, but they cannot change the established order.

Everything threatens to change with the death of the Dowager Empress, and Leopold Orso—the Signor—feels the coming shifts in the air more clearly than anyone. Faraway countries tempt him, but his dark past holds a deadly trap. And no one can predict in advance whether the whirlpool of events will drag the restless Signor down to the very bottom or hurl him into unimaginable heights. And will there be anywhere for him to land at all…
