Setting[]
Up in the north, in Fever Crumb's time, beyond the Fuel Country, where the nomad empires roam with their herds of mammoth and reindeer and their ramshackle rolling castles, the last month of summer is known as the "Scrivener's Moon".
The book in Reeve's words:
In some ways Scrivener's Moon is going to be a return to the scale and scope of the first four Mortal Engines books; there's an epic journey, a large cast of characters, and several interweaving storylines. There is a bit about the Scriven, a bit about the Sixty Minute War, and a lot about the nomad empires and the construction of the new London.
Premise[]
