La Torre di Babele è la più grande meraviglia del mondo conosciuto. Grande come una montagna, l'immensa Torre ospita innumerevoli Regni Circolari, alcuni pacifici, altri bellicosi, appoggiati l'uno sull'altro come gli strati di una torta. È un mondo popolato di geni e tiranni, aeronavi e motori a vapore, animali insoliti e macchine misteriose. Attirato dalla curiosità scientifica e dalle mirabolanti promesse di una guida turistica, Thomas Senlin, mite preside di una scuola di provincia, decide di visitarla. Anzi, gli sembra che, con i suoi lussuosi Bagni, sia proprio la meta ideale per la sua luna di miele con Marya. Solo che, appena arrivati, i due sposi si perdono tra la folla di abitanti, turisti e furfanti. Determinato a ritrovare la moglie, Senlin inizia una lunga ricerca tra bassifondi, sale da ballo e teatri di burlesque. Dovrà sopravvivere a tradimenti, assassini, e ai lunghi cannoni di una fortezza volante. Ma se vuole riavere Marya, sopravvivere non basterà: dovrà sapersi trasformare da uomo di lettere in uomo d'azione.

Fearing an uprising, the Sphinx sends Senlin to investigate a plot that has taken hold in the ringdom of Pelphia. Alone in the city, Senlin infiltrates a bloody arena where hods battle for the public's entertainment. But his investigation is quickly derailed by a gruesome crime and an unexpected reunion. Posing as a noble lady and her handmaid, Voleta and Iren attempt to reach Marya, who is isolated by her fame. While navigating the court, Voleta attracts the unwanted attention of a powerful prince whose pursuit of her threatens their plan. Edith, now captain of the Sphinx's fierce flagship, joins forces with a fellow wakeman to investigate the disappearance of a beloved friend. She must decide who to trust as her desperate search brings her nearer to the Black Trail where the hods climb in darkness and whisper of the Hod King. As Senlin and his crew become further dragged in to the conspiracies of the Tower, everything falls to one question: Who is The Hod King?
