Caspar Goldstein is the star of the steam car racing scene in the city of Eisenstadt. All he cares about is winning the coveted Autocarriage Cup, and heโs in with a chanceโuntil a crash at the track throws his plans into disarray.

But when black mercury powers the first ever flight to the mysterious Drifting Isle, its fame quickly spreadsโand everyone wants what Casparโs got. Heโs made a grave mistake, but itโs too late to back out now. Unsure who to trust, Cas must rely on his few true friends for help; but how can inventors, autocarriage drivers and pigeons hope to face down the deadliest of assassins and thieves?
