In this world, technology has advanced far beyond what we can imagine, and the city is ruled by powerful guilds who control every aspect of life.
Fever Crumb is an engineer who works for the Guild of Engineers, and she is tasked with a dangerous mission that will take her on a journey of self-discovery and lead her to uncover secrets about her past that she never knew existed. As the story progresses, Fever must navigate through treacherous situations and come to terms with the truth of her origins.

The third book, Scrivener's Moon, is a stunning conclusion to the trilogy, bringing together all the threads of the previous books into an epic finale that will leave readers breathless. In this book, Fever finds herself in the midst of a dangerous revolution as the people of London rise up against their oppressors and fight for their freedom.
One of the things that make the Fever Crumb Collection so special is its attention to detail. Philip Reeve has created a fully-realised world that is both unique and fascinating. The books are filled with incredible technology, imaginative creatures, and vividly-realised characters that readers will come to love and root for.
Another thing that sets this series apart is its strong female protagonist.

Readers will be drawn into her world and will find themselves cheering her on as she faces incredible challenges and overcomes seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
Overall, the Fever Crumb Collection is an incredible series of books that will captivate readers of all ages.
