The Winter Knights is the second book of the Quint saga – the first trilogy in the Edge Chronicles.

Quint Verginix has enrolled as a squire in the Knight’s Academy. After his training he will be able to pilot stormchaser sky-ships into the heart of Great Storms, and retrieve the solidified lightning – stormphrax – to weigh down the floating rock on which Sanctaphrax is built. Since cold makes the rock more buoyant, and the Edgeworld is held in the grip of a long and cold winter more stormphrax than ever before is needed to keep the floating city stable. Many knights are being sent on stormchasing missions, but none return. As the city strains to break free of its tether, ancient feuds threaten to tear its people apart.

On his own, Quint can do nothing to help avert the impending disaster. But with the help of a band of loyal friends and secrets found in an ancient barkscroll, he might just be able to loosen the grip of the city’s never-ending winter.
