      We schrijven eind achttiende eeuw. Europa staat op de drempel van een industriële revolutie, de eerste luchtschepen varen net uit en het volk lijkt eindelijk in opstand te durven komen tegen de wrede, koude magiërs die het continent onder controle houden. Magiërs die de lucht om hen heen letterlijk bevriezen en de technologische vooruitgang van het gewone volk verafschuwen. Cat Barahal en haar nichtje Bee volgen op school lessen in nieuwe technologieën, maar hen wordt ook geleerd de koude magiërs te vrezen. Als op een dag zo’n koude magiër aanklopt bij het huis van haar oom en tante, waar Cat sinds de dood van haar ouders woont, verandert haar leven van de ene dag op de andere. Haar oom en tante worden gehouden aan een contract dat jaren geleden is afgesloten en Cat wordt zonder pardon aan de magiër uitgehuwelijkt. Wie kan zij nog vertrouwen nu zelfs haar familie haar in de steek laat...
