Londres está en movimiento, su presa podrías ser tú. Las ciudades se mueven a tracción, merodean y se engullen unas a otras. Tras la feroz Guerra de los Sesenta Minutos, las poblaciones que sobrevivieron al apocalipsis se convirtieron en depredadoras en pos de ciudades menores para alimentarse de ellas. Londres se encuentra a la caza de una pequeña urbe cuando Tom Natsworthy, un humilde aprendiz de tercera clase, se topa con Hester Shaw, una furiosa asesina al acecho, cuyos planes se ven arruinados por la torpe intervención de Tom. Ambos acaban perdidos en la Región Exterior, un páramo desolador marcado por las huellas que dejan tras de sí las ciudades ambulantes, que exhalan nubes de vapor en el horizonte. Tendrán que aliarse para sobrevivir y salvar a la metrópoli de los planes de lord Mangus Crome. Un futuro donde las máquinas son instrumentos de poder y la tecnología es la religión.
