Crispin Kateralbin is an outsider, and no matter how hard he tries, he cannot find a place to fit in. Expelled from his circus home after his carelessness causes a death, he first wanders and then flees across the crumbling Ferupian Empire into daemon-infested Raw.

Product Description
Ever
Crispin is a "circus baby," born in a caravan, working as a daemon handler and aerialistuntil an accident on the high wire casts him out into a world even stranger that the circus that nurtured him.
The War in the Waste
Crispin falls headlong into the arms of Rae, an orphan girl of equally exotic origins. And soars in daemon-powered biplanes over the wastelands of the Raw, joining the awesome battle between Ferupe's slow-dying Queen and her adversary, the Lizard Significant.
