“Leviathan is a fantastic and beautifully illustrated steampunk version of The Great War. In this alternate universe, the Clankers put their faith in elaborate steam-powered machines and the Darwinists manage huge living airships that are whole ecosystems. But this is mostly the story of two 15-year-olds who are both hiding secrets. Prepare yourself for an adventurous ride.”

The English have embraced Darwinism and have fabricated whale airships called Leviathans. Prepping these for the coming war with Germany. Meanwhile Germany is building up an army of Clankers, large diesel driven war machines loaded up with machine guns and explosives. And two storiess intertwine, the story of young Deryn Sharp, a young girl with dreams of being a pilot and Prince Alek, the deposed son of Arch Duke Ferdinand, cast out of his home by conspiracy between Germany and his own homeland.
