In una Londra tetra e indecifrabile, Billy Harrow, studioso di cefalopodi, guida i visitatori all'interno del Museo di Storia Naturale, dove è ospitato un raro e impressionante esemplare di Architeutis dux, meglio noto come "Calamaro gigante".

I live in a world of waifs and shadows. "Live" might be an overstatement. I scrounge and scramble and survive in an atmosphere made thick and gray by the ashes of the Fallen. And sometimes I dream of sunlight. My parents were taken, even though they followed all the rules. Never scavenge at night. Never talk to Shadows. Don't fight the Sweepers. Run. Run. Run. And then I meet "him".

A vast artificial-intelligence network, a psychiatric bureaucracy, and a tiny egalitarian council oversee civil affairs and quash “abnormal” attitudes such as romantic love.
