In the industrial kingdom of Jackals, where steam-powered inventions, flying machines, and ancient magic coexist, two unlikely heroes become fugitives after a conspiracy threatens the future of the empire. Young orphan Molly Templar and gentleman rogue Oliver Brooks are drawn into a deadly struggle involving secret societies, mechanical marvels, mysterious airships, and forgotten powers. As political intrigue and revolution spread across the kingdom, they must uncover the truth before civilization itself is transformed forever.

The Court of the Air launches Stephen Hunt’s acclaimed Jackelian series, blending epic fantasy with imaginative steampunk technology, Victorian adventure, and memorable world-building. Filled with airships, automatons, colorful rogues, and larger-than-life villains, it is an excellent choice for readers who enjoy the works of China Miéville, Philip Pullman, or Gail Carriger while retaining the grand scope of classic fantasy.
Collector Notes
This novel introduced the Jackelian universe and helped establish Stephen Hunt as a leading voice in modern steampunk fantasy. First editions and early Tor printings remain popular among collectors, particularly as complete matching sets of the series become more difficult to assemble.
