Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Storm Thief is a 2006 Science-Fiction novel by Chris Wooding, author of Poison, The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray, Crashing, Kerosene, and The Broken Sky series. It tells the story of Rail (pictured) and Moa, a pair of thieves who come from one of the many ghetto districts in the city of Orokos. The city is plagued by Probability Storms, which are tempests of a substance called "aether" that change whatever they touch. The two are given a job by the Thief-Mistress, Anya-Jacana, and find a strange artefact that allows Moa to phase through walls. They end up on the run from their gang, who wanted said artifact.Elsewhere, a Golem named Vago escapes his master's home after getting fed up of his beatings. He's carrying the preserved body of a seabird, which implies there is something outside the city, and when he meets up with Rail and Moa this interests her enough that Moa insists on taking him with them.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })They end up on the run from the Protectorate, an army of soldiers hell-bent on keeping order in the chaotic city. Along with a ghetto boy named Finch, the leader of the Protectorate army intends to get the artifact and use it to access and destroy the Chaos Engine, source of the Probability Storms. | |

Bilingual Bonus | |
| Storm Thief / int_294ed981 | comment |
Bilingual Bonus: Almost every made-up word is loaned from Hungarian. For example, the "gyik-tyuks" (Hungarian "gyík-tyúk"), lizard-chicken hybrids, literally mean "lizard-chicken". "Orokos" (Hungarian "örökös") means "everlasting", "Kilatas" ("kilátás") means "lookout", "Vago" ("vágó") means "cutter", "Lelek" ("lélek") means "soul", etc. "Benejes Frine" is completely made-up, however. | |

After the End | |
| Storm Thief / int_334e48a1 | comment |
After the End: The Chaos Engine caused an event called The Fade, which utterly devastated the already-failing Orokos and turned it into a pseudo-post-apocalyptic place. | |

Ass Kicking Equals Authority: Bane seems to show this. He's a crack shot with an Aether Cannon, and is somewhat feared. | |
