Corby Flood and her family are about to set sail on the rather ramshackle cruise ship, the SS Euphonia. As the ship arrives at its destination, Corby must enlist the help of some very well moustachioed locals to uncover the contents of the crate, and the dark secrets of the menacing Clowns.

The first book of the Quint Saga that begins the bestselling Edge Chronicles series.
Welcome to a world like no other. Welcome to the Edge.

Built high atop a floating rock, the great city of Sanctaphrax is bound to the ground below by a chain, its inhabitants living with their heads literally in the clouds.

But the city hides a dangerous secret: deep inside the great rock, something horrible is lurking. Quint, the son of a legendary sky pirate captain, may now be the only one who can save the Edge from the curse of the gloamglozer.

The second book of the Quint Saga, part of the bestselling Edge Chronicles series.
Freezing cold. Bitter rivalries. Welcome to the Edge.

As the Floating City of Sanctaphrax strains to break free of its tether, ancient feuds threaten to tear its people apart.

What can Quint, a young squire of the Knights Academy, do to avert disaster? On his own, nothing. But with the help of a band of loyal friends he might just be able to loosen the grip of the city's never-ending winter.

Having left behind his studies at the Knights Academy, Quint is now eager to learn what it really means to be a sky pirate and to learn from his father. But Wind Jackal is consumed by his desire to capture Smeal -- and his judgement is flawed. His actions endangers the lives of...
