Hungry City Chronicles Books in Order

In a future where cities hunt one another, London apprentice Tom Natsworthy is cast out into the wasteland with Hester Shaw. Their uneasy alliance uncovers a deadly plan that could reshape the whole world.

Tom and Hester join the floating city of Anchorage, hoping for safety after their escape from London. But rival cities, old enemies, and a dangerous new promise threaten to turn their refuge into another trap.

Tom and Hester's daughter Wren longs for adventure beyond their quiet home. Her wish comes true when dangerous visitors arrive, pulling her into a conflict involving old enemies, mysterious machines, and a stolen airship.

The war between Traction Cities and the Anti-Traction League reaches a breaking point. Tom, Hester, and their allies are scattered across a world facing terrible weapons, old grudges, and one final chance at peace.

This short return to the Traction Era offers another glimpse of the dangerous world of moving cities. It explores the machinery, rivalries, and restless landscapes that make the Mortal Engines setting so memorable.

This collection returns to the world of Mortal Engines through linked stories of Anna Fang, Shrike, and other figures from the Traction Era. It fills in pieces of the wider history without retelling the main quartet.
