Books with author Pauline Stewart

The first book of the Rook Saga, part of the bestselling Edge Chronicles series. Far out in open sky, a storm is brewing. In its path is Sanctaphrax -- a city built on a floating rock and tethered to the land by a massive chain. Only Twig -- a young sky pirate captain who has dared to sail over the Edge -- has learned of the approaching danger. But his perilous voyage destroys his sky ship, hurling his crew into and beyond the Deepwoods, and robbing Twig of his memories.

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 Rook. But can Rook foil Vox's plan and save the lives of his librarian colleagues? This is a dramatic and menacing new adventure, illustrated throughout with marvellously imaginative black and white illustrations.
