4-6Icebreaker series.
When Gwin, whose people are traveling acrobats and musicians, attempts to rescue her captured father, she encounters Petrel, Fin, Sharkey, and Rain (Icebreaker; Sunker's Deep). They're seeking the Captain, a mechanical boy programmed with all the world's knowledge who can help them rebuild once the oppressive, anti-technology Devout are vanquished. The trilogy's myriad threads and heroes come together for a final confrontation and a triumphant close.
