In the 1800s in London, Orin Blackwood never had parents. He lived in an orphanage across from his school on the cobbled streets. A friend to his roommate, Oliver, and Cuthbert, a man from the tavern, Orin enjoys life until one day he notices something strange. He finds out he is a weaver who can control fire, meaning he must attend the school of elements: Wedwood Academy. There, he meets Lia Redwood and Jax Ashworth. Surrounded by clock towers, airships, and an impending doom, Orin must figure out how to save his new home, and his old one.
