The Edge Chronicles 7: The Last of the Sky Pirates

First Book of Rook




A new title in the bestselling Edge Chronicles - a dramatic and extraordinarily 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 whilst 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...

Set 50 years after the events in Midnight Over Sanctaphrax, The Last of the Sky Pirates is the first of a new trilogy of Edgeworld adventures.
