On the island city of Orokos, Rail and Moa, two ghetto brats, steal an artifact of ancient science, but their thief-master wants the artifact for herself. They flee to Moa's former home; along the way, they're joined by a hideous half-mechanical winged golem. The triangle between Rail, Moa, and the initially innocent golem give this page-turner, salted with liberal amounts of mortal peril, its savor.
