The Obsidian Covenant #1: The Rejected Mate's Ruin
In a world where the moon shattered and the strong devoured the weak, Neoma Solstice is nothing. A scentless Null. A ghost. A mistake.
Until the day she saves a dying Lycan warrior with a touch, and her secret is revealed: she's Void-Born, the rarest mutation in existence. The same power that makes her invisible makes her invaluable—a living weapon that can cure the incurable Feral Rot plaguing the Lycan Ascendancy.
Captured and collared, Neoma is forced to serve as "Tether" to Unit Vanguard: four elite soldiers on the brink of madness. Barzil, the ruthless Commander who sees her as a mission. Wolfy, the cold Tactician who sees her as a puzzle. Viggo, the feral Berserker who sees her as salvation. Guller, the fallen Priest who sees her as redemption.
They own her contract. They control her life. They swear she's just a tool.
But tools don't make their masters kneel.
As Neoma's power grows, so does the threat she poses to the regime that enslaved her. When the prophesied Blood Moon rises, she'll have to choose: remain the Ascendancy's battery, or become the Void that devours them whole.
Some bonds are forged in blood. Some in magic. Theirs was forged in desperation—and it might be the only thing strong enough to save a dying world.
The Obsidian Covenant is a dark dystopian reverse harem romance featuring a morally gray FMC, four obsessive MLs, found family dynamics, enemies-to-lovers, rejected mate redemption, and a slow-burn that explodes into high heat. Perfect for fans of The Cruel Prince meets Den of Vipers in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
No choosing. No apologies. No mercy.

ChaptersQuestions About Mortal Engines Book
Where can I read Mortal Engines online for free?
2 Answers2025-11-28 21:08:07
Mortal Engines is one of those books that really stuck with me after I first read it—Philip Reeve’s world-building is just that good. The whole idea of moving cities devouring each other? Pure genius. Now, about reading it online for free… I totally get the appeal, especially if you’re tight on cash or just want to sample it before committing. But here’s the thing: officially, there aren’t many legal ways to read the full book for free. Some libraries offer digital loans through apps like Libby or OverDrive, so that’s worth checking. I borrowed my copy that way ages ago, and it was a seamless experience.
That said, I’d be careful with random sites claiming to have free downloads. A lot of them are sketchy, packed with malware, or just plain illegal. As much as I love sharing books, supporting authors matters—Reeve deserves his royalties for crafting such a wild story. If you’re patient, keep an eye out for sales on platforms like Kindle or Kobo; I’ve snagged deals where ‘Mortal Engines’ dropped to a couple bucks. Or hey, secondhand bookstores sometimes have cheap physical copies. The hunt’s part of the fun!

How does Mortal Engines book end?

Philip Reeve's 'Mortal Engines' wraps up with a mix of bittersweet victory and lingering questions. After the climactic battle over London's destruction, Tom and Hester finally reunite aboard the airship 'Jenny Haniver,' but their relationship is forever changed by betrayal and loss. The city's annihilation forces them to confront the cost of their actions—Hester's vengeful choices and Tom's idealism both leave scars. The ending isn't neat; Katherine's death and Bevis's sacrifice weigh heavily, while Valentine's twisted legacy lingers. What sticks with me is how Reeve refuses easy redemption for Hester—her final act of saving Tom can't erase her violence, and that complexity makes the ending haunting.
What I love is how the book subverts traditional adventure tropes. Instead of a triumphant return to stability, the survivors scatter across a fractured world, hinting at the sequels' wider conflicts. The last image of London's wreckage as a new 'static' settlement feels ironic—these characters fought to stop predation, but the cycle of power struggles clearly isn't over. It's a brilliant setup that makes you immediately crave 'Predator's Gold.'

Is Mortal Engines a good novel for young adults?

Mortal Engines is one of those books that hooked me from the first page with its wild, steampunk-meets-dystopia vibe. The idea of cities on wheels devouring each other? Absolutely bonkers in the best way. For young adults, I think it’s a fantastic pick—especially if they’re into action-packed stories with deeper themes lurking beneath. The protagonist, Tom Natsworthy, starts off pretty naive, but his growth throughout the series feels organic and relatable. Plus, the world-building is immersive without being overwhelming. Philip Reeve doesn’t spoon-feed you; he trusts readers to piece things together, which I appreciate.
That said, it’s not all sunshine and giant traction cities. The book gets pretty dark at times—betrayal, loss, and moral gray areas are central to the plot. But honestly, that’s what makes it compelling. Young adult readers today are savvy; they can handle complexity. If they enjoyed 'The Hunger Games' or 'Divergent', they’ll likely vibe with this. Just be prepared for some emotional gut punches—Hester Shaw’s backstory still haunts me years later.

Mortal Engines book series reading order?

If you're diving into the 'Mortal Engines' series for the first time, you're in for a wild ride! The main quartet should be read in order: 'Mortal Engines' (2001), 'Predator’s Gold' (2003), 'Infernal Devices' (2005), and 'A Darkling Plain' (2006). These books follow Tom Natsworthy and Hester Shaw as they navigate a post-apocalyptic world of moving cities. Phillip Reeve’s world-building is absolutely immersive, and the character arcs are heartbreakingly real.
There’s also a prequel series, 'Fever Crumb,' which adds depth to the universe but isn’t necessary to enjoy the original books. I’d recommend starting with the main series first—it hooks you right away with its blend of steampunk and dystopian vibes. The prequels are great for lore lovers, though! The way Reeve ties everything together in 'A Darkling Plain' still gives me chills thinking about it.

The world of 'Mortal Engines' is such a wild ride—I totally get why you'd want to dive into it digitally! While I don't condone piracy (support the author, Philip Reeve, folks!), there are legal ways to get a PDF. Many libraries offer e-book loans through apps like Libby or OverDrive, and sites like Project Gutenberg sometimes have older titles. If you're looking to buy, retailers like Amazon or Kobo sell e-book versions that you can convert to PDF with the right tools. Just remember, the steampunk vibes of London-on-wheels deserve your honest dollars—Reeve’s world-building is next-level!
Fun side note: If you love the book, the movie adaptation has this bonkers visual flair, even if it strays from the source. The whole 'predator cities' concept hooked me instantly—it’s like 'Mad Max' meets 'Howl’s Moving Castle,' but with way more existential dread about consumerism. Anyway, happy (legal) reading! The series only gets crazier from here.

Who dies in Mortal Engines book?
3 Answers2026-06-02 20:46:16
Oh wow, 'Mortal Engines' is such a wild ride with its gut-wrenching moments! One death that really stuck with me was Tom Natsworthy’s mentor, Thaddeus Valentine. The guy starts off charming but turns out to be a full-blown villain, and his end is downright cinematic—crushed by his own daughter’s airship after betraying everyone. Then there’s Katherine, his daughter, who gets this tragic, heroic exit trying to stop him. It’s messy and emotional, especially because she’s just realizing how messed up her dad is.
And let’s not forget Shrike, the Stalker. His arc is heartbreaking—a resurrected soldier clinging to humanity, who finally lets go to save Hester. That last scene with him? Pure poetry. Philip Reeve doesn’t pull punches; every death reshapes the story and hits like a freight train.

Are there any sequels to Mortal Engines?
3 Answers2026-02-05 03:53:51
The 'Mortal Engines' series by Philip Reeve actually has three direct sequels that continue the wild, post-apocalyptic adventures of Tom Natsworthy and Hester Shaw. After the first book, the story expands into 'Predator’s Gold,' where our heroes face new threats in the frozen wastelands of Greenland. Then comes 'Infernal Devices,' which jumps forward years later with a fresh generation of characters, blending old ties with new dangers. Finally, 'A Darkling Plain' wraps everything up in an epic, emotionally charged finale. What I love about these books is how Reeve keeps raising the stakes—each sequel deepens the world’s lore while staying true to the gritty, inventive spirit of the original. The way he explores themes like survival, morality, and the cost of progress makes the series feel bigger than just 'cool cities on wheels.'
If you’re craving more after the main quartet, there’s also the prequel 'Fever Crumb,' which delves into the origins of the Traction Era. It’s a totally different vibe—more steampunk mystery than high-speed chases—but it adds fascinating layers to the universe. Personally, I think 'A Darkling Plain' is the standout; that ending wrecked me in the best way possible. The series never shies away from harsh truths, and that’s what makes it unforgettable.

Mortal Engines book vs movie differences?
4 Answers2026-06-02 19:11:22
The 'Mortal Engines' book and movie feel like two entirely different beasts to me. Philip Reeve's novel is this dense, sprawling adventure with layers of political intrigue and world-building that the film barely scratches. The book takes its time exploring the ideologies of Municipal Darwinism and the Anti-Traction League, while the movie rushes through these concepts to get to the action. Characters like Katherine Valentine get way more depth in the book—her arc is almost entirely chopped in the adaptation. And don’t get me started on Shrike! The book’s undead cyborg is tragic and poetic; the movie turns him into a generic horror villain. The ending’s different too—less bittersweet, more Hollywood.
That said, the film’s visuals are stunning. Seeing London as a moving predator city is exactly how I imagined it, even if the story feels streamlined for mass appeal. The book’s quieter moments, like Tom and Hester’s awkward romance or the eerie beauty of the bird roads, just don’t translate. It’s a shame, because Reeve’s prose has this gritty charm that the movie replaces with bombastic CGI. I’d recommend the book to anyone who loves steampunk with teeth, but the film? Maybe just for the spectacle.

The ending of 'Mortal Engines' is both epic and bittersweet, wrapping up the wild ride of Hester and Tom with a mix of triumph and sacrifice. After the climax where London is destroyed and the predator city ideology crumbles, Hester makes the ultimate choice to stay behind with the dying Valentine, revealing her lingering love for her father despite everything. Tom, meanwhile, escapes with Katherine and Bevis, but their survival comes at the cost of losing so much—cities, lives, and even Hester, who they believe perished. But in a twist, she survives, scarred but alive, and reunites with Tom later, hinting at a future where they might rebuild something new together. The last scenes leave you with this lingering sense of hope amid the ruins—like the end of an era but also the start of something raw and untamed.
What really stuck with me was how Hester’s arc completes itself—her rage, her love, her contradictions all colliding in that final moment. It’s not a clean, happy ending, but it feels true to the gritty, morally messy world Philip Reeve built. And that final image of the static settlements rising while the predator cities fall? Pure poetry.

Is Mortal Engines book appropriate for teens?
3 Answers2026-06-02 19:33:05
The 'Mortal Engines' series by Philip Reeve is one of those gems that straddles the line between young adult and adult fiction brilliantly. I first picked it up as a teenager and was instantly hooked by its gritty, steampunk world where cities devour each other on wheels—talk about a wild premise! The themes are pretty mature, though: war, betrayal, and moral ambiguity are front and center. The violence isn’t overly graphic, but it’s definitely present, and some political machinations might go over younger teens’ heads. That said, the protagonist, Tom Natsworthy, is relatable, and the pacing is so breakneck that it keeps you glued. If your teen enjoys dystopias with depth, like 'The Hunger Games' or 'Divergent,' they’ll likely dig this. Just be ready for some heavy questions about survival and ethics.
What really stood out to me was how Reeve doesn’t sugarcoat consequences. Characters die, alliances shift unpredictably, and there’s no neat 'good vs. evil' divide. It’s a great conversation starter about gray areas in life—perfect for older teens who are starting to critically analyze media. The romance subplot is tame, mostly implied, so no worries there. Personally, I’d recommend it for 15+, but a mature 13-year-old could handle it if they’re already into darker stories. Bonus: the world-building is chef’s kiss. From airborne pirates to zombie cyborgs, it’s a feast for the imagination.
