About This Book

Among the floating rocks and sky pirate crews of the Edge, Twig Verginix has finally found where he belongs — aboard the Stormchaser, sailing the open skies he was born to roam. But when a perilous mission into the heart of a Great Storm threatens everyone he loves, staying behind feels impossible. What follows is a story about belonging, recklessness, and the terrible cost of proving yourself to the people who matter most. Stewart and Riddell have built a world so strange and vivid that the stakes feel genuinely physical — you can almost feel the wind tearing at the rigging.

What sets Stormchaser apart as a reading experience is how seamlessly the illustrations become part of the storytelling rather than a supplement to it. Riddell's intricate artwork and Stewart's richly textured prose work in tandem, deepening the world rather than decorating it. The pacing pulls hard toward its center — relentless without feeling rushed — and the Edge's peculiar mythology rewards readers who have followed Twig from the beginning. This is fantasy that trusts its audience to keep up.
