We called it the Nate Saga and it was published not as three books but in one (big) volume. Then, following these nine books, we decided to write a tenth book in the series, which we thought would tie up all the loose ends, and conclude the Edge Chronicles for ever. The Rook Saga – set in the Second Age of Flight The Twig Saga – set in the First Age of Flight The Quint Saga – set in the First Age of Flight If we hadn’t written them differently, this is the order we’d read them in! With the nine books all written, it now makes more sense to read them in the proper chronological order, starting with Quint, continuing with Twig and ending with Rook. And so, at last, we also had the Quint Saga. This seemed very unfair, so we went back in time again and wrote two more books about him: The Winter Knights (2005) and Clash of the Sky Galleons (2006). So, Twig and Rook had three-book sagas each, but Quint only had one book about him. As a character, we liked Rook, so we decided to write two more books about his adventures: Vox (2003) and Freeglader(2004). However, because Twig was by this time an old man – and no one wants to read about old men! – we introduced his grandson, Rook. This book became The Curse of the Gloamglozer(2001).Īt this point, we thought a five-book series would be fun, and as we wanted to discover what happened to Twig, we jumped forward in time and wrote The Last of the Sky Pirates(2002). We then wanted to write more about Sanctaphrax, but as Anchor Chain had been cut and the city had floated away, we had to go back in time to when Quint was a youth. At that time, we hadn’t planned a follow-up, but because we enjoyed writing it so much, we decided to turn it into a trilogy, and wrote two more books about Twig Stormchaser(1999) and Midnight over Sanctaphrax(2000).

The Order We Wrote Them Inīeyond the Deepwoods was published back in 1998. However, we know as readers ourselves that this probably would not have satisfied us, so here is the more detailed answer. The simple answer is this: We wrote them all as stand-alone books, so any order will work. The question we have been asked most over the years is ‘What is the best order to read the Edge Chronicles in?’
