Behemoth by Scott Westerfeld
Set against the backdrop of an alternate World War I, this thrilling tale follows the adventures of Alek, the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, and Deryn, a daring girl disguised as a boy in the British Air Service. As the war between the Clankers, who rely on mechanical technology, and the Darwinists, who use genetically engineered creatures, intensifies, the duo finds themselves in the heart of the Ottoman Empire. Their mission is to prevent a catastrophic conflict while navigating political intrigue, espionage, and their own evolving friendship. With imaginative steampunk elements and a fast-paced narrative, the story explores themes of loyalty, identity, and the complexities of war.
