The Curse of the Gloamglozer

In the floating city of Sanctaphrax, fusty old professors scheme and bicker with each other as they study the weather in minute detail mistsifting, fogprobing, researching the air blowing in from beyond the Edge. But some experiments are best left alone…
Quint is the son of a sky pirate captain. He arrives in Sanctaphrax at the request of Linius Pallitax, the Most High Academe, who needs an apprentice he can trust to carry out a series of highly important tasks. Just how important, Quint is about to find out as he and Linius’s only daughter, Maris, are plunged into the midst of a terrifying adventure that takes them deep within the rock upon which Sanctaphrax is built. You can practically feel the Banderbear’s fur and smell the Tilder sausage of Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell’s well loved fantasy world as the Edge is brought to life in glorious detail in a new reading by Alex Jennings.

The Last of the Sky Pirates

A dramatic and exuberant fantasy adventure filled with colourful and imaginative characters and illustrated with exquisite detail. Fifty years after the floating city of Sanctaphrax was swept away, the Edgeworld has changed for the worse. Cruel shrykes control the great Mire Road, while slave labour is endemic. When a young apprentice knight academic, Rook, sets out on a perilous journey through the Deepwoods, he meets a mysterious stranger living with the banderbears and is propelled right into the middle of a dangerous adventure in which a small group of fighters must challenge the dark might of the Guardians of the Night. From the Hardcover edition.

Vox

High in the crumbling Palace of Statues, oily Vox Verlix nominally the Most High Academe but no more than a prisoner in reality is brewing a terrible plot to destroy the goblins and the shrykes at a stroke, leaving him free to take over once again. Rook Barkwater, a young librarian knight, stumbles upon the truth when he is taken captive and forced to work for Vox. But can Rook foil Vox’s plan and save the lives of his librarian colleagues? Part of the ‘Rook’ trilogy set fifty years later than the events of the ‘Twig’ sequence and filled with fascinating new characters and settings that will enthral fans of the series.

Freeglader

Now in paperback, the seventh title in this spectacular fantasy series and the triumphant conclusion to the Rook Barkwater sequence. Fleeing from the ruins of New Undertown, Rook Barkwater and his colleagues the librarian knights, Felix Lodd and his banderbear friends must lead the escaping population to a new life in the Free Glades. But perils aplenty are ahead for the crowd not to mention some goblins with plans of their own. This is the dramatic and exciting conclusion to the Rook Barkwater sequence that takes the reader on a thrilling journey across the Edgeworld. From the Trade Paperback edition.

The Winter Knights

The eighth spectacular title in the amazing fantasy adventure series The Edge Chronicles steps back in time to follow The Curse of the Gloamglozer.

In the great floating city of Sanctaphrax, blizzards howl through the streets as the Edgeworld descends into an endless winter. Quint, the son of a sky pirate, has just begun his training at the Knights Academy – training that involves heading out over the Edge on tethers to develop his flying skills. But when Quint breaks the rules and heads out to Open Sky on his own, he runs into the great sky leviathans known as cloud-eaters. He must use all his skill and ingenuity if catastrophe is not to strike the Edgeworld.

The Stone Pilot

This is an exclusive story, tracing the history of Maugin, The Stone Pilot, who Twig meets in ‘Stormchaser’. Maugin is a trog, destined to change from a beautiful delicate creature into the fearsomely impressive adult termagant at her first blooding, due very soon. But an ill fated trip above ground ends with her capture by Deepwoods slavers. Maugin’s subsequent sale to a terrifying scientist could be the end of her but for the actions of a young sky pirate, Quint Verginix. It is a wonderful accompaniment to the series and a must for any ‘Edge Chronicles’ fan.

The Clash of the Sky Galleons

In the penultimate book in the Edge Chronicles series, Quint is travelling with his father, Wind Jackal, on a mission to track down and bring to justice Turbot Smeal, the man who started the fire that killed their family. Having left behind his studies at the Knights Academy, Quint is now eager to learn from his father what it really means to be a sky pirate. But, consumed by his desire to capture Smeal, Wind Jackal’s judgment is flawed, and his actions endanger the lives of his crew and his son. As they travel from the taverns and backstreets of Undertown and the wonders of the shipbuilders yards, to the dark dangers of the Deepwoods, Quint and Maris become separated from the rest of the crew. Finally, at the mysterious, ghostly sky wreck in Open Sky, they discover the truth about Smeal. From the Hardcover edition.

The Lost Barkscrolls

A fantastic new adventure in the world of the Edge Chronicles. These exciting new tales are ideal for those new to the Edge, or as an addition to the collection of any fan. The edition includes the stories CLOUD WOLF and THE STONE PILOT. It also includes a beautiful foldout timeline of the Edgeworld, linking all three trilogies together. From the Hardcover edition.

The Immortals

Nate Quarter is a lowly lamplighter in the phraxmines of the Eastern Woods, until treachery forces him to flee for his life to the mighty city of Great Glade. But these are turbulent times. In far off Hive, the spectacular city founded by the goblin tribes, the clan leaders are preparing for war. And out beyond the dread Nightwoods, in the fabled gardens of Riverrise, a one eyed waif jealously guards the life giving waters of the mystical Riverrise spring…
. Swept up in the maelstrom that follows, Nate and a small band of intrepid friends must set off on an epic journey that is to lead them into terrible peril. All the while, from over the Edge cliff itself, a storm unlike any ever seen before, is building. A storm that is to roll across the land, bringing both echoes of the past and promises of a new beginning…
. This is the final tale in the Edge Chronicles sequence and it’s a fabulous climax to one of the most original and dramatic fantasy series being written today. Set years in the future, this book is ideal for new readers to discover the series before going back to read the history of Twig, Rook, and Quint. Illustrated throughout with outstanding inventiveness by Chris Riddell, it will not only enthrall existing fans of the Edge Chronicles but also grip readers new to the series. From the Hardcover edition.

Free Lance and the Lake of Skulls / Lake of Skulls

Behind me, a loud, beastlike roar went up. I turned to see a great hulk of a man all hairy jowls and heaving gut lumbering from leg to leg in a slow battle jig. I recognized him at once. His fists were clenched. His bloodshot eyes were wild. ‘Come on, if you think you’re hard enough!’ he was bellowing. Here we go again! I thought. Why do I always seem to end up in this type of a place? You’d think I’d have learned by now. All I’d wanted was a quiet drink. Was that too much to ask? Was it? Given the day I’d had so far, maybe it was…

He follows and realises that they are offering the girl as a sacrifice to appease the ‘dragon’. Determined to rescue the damsel, little does Free Lance realise the danger he will face in this cracking, wonderfully illustrated story.
