The book begins with the Paris World's Fair of 1878, which Declan Broekhart and his wife are attending. They are there mainly to see a new hot air balloon, which they are to take a ride in.

In the 1890s Conor and his family live on the sovereign Saltee Islands, off the Irish coast, which are ruled by King Nicholas Trudeau. Nicholas is a progressive leader who is helping the islands adapt to the industrialized world.
