The story is set in a fictional world loosely inspired by 17th-century England, full of warring factions, printing press politics, and banned books. Fly by Night won the Branford Boase Award for best debut children’s novel.

The sequel, Twilight Robbery (also published as Fly Trap), appeared in 2010 and continues Mosca’s adventures. Flight from Hell (2014) is a short companion piece.
