The Curse of the Gloamglozer (Edge Chronicles) - Hardcover

Needing a courageous apprentice to carry out his important tasks, Linius Pallitax turns to Quint, the son of the sky pirate captain, to take on this role where he and Linius's only daughter soon find themselves deep inside the Sanctaphrax rock on a dangerous, but necessary, quest.

The thrilling fourth title in the bestselling fantasy series -- The Edge Chronicles.

In the floating city of Sanctaphrax, fusty old professors scheme and bicker with each other as they study the weather in minute detail -- mistsifting, fogprobing, researching the air blowing in from beyond the Edge. But some experiments are best left alone.

Quint is the son of a sky pirate captain. He arrives in Sanctaphrax at the request of Linius Pallitax, the Most High Academe, who needs an apprentice he can trust to carry out a series of highly important tasks. Just how important, Quint is about to find out. For he and Linius’s only daughter, Maris, are plunged suddenly into the midst of a terrifying adventure that takes them deep within the rock upon which Sanctaphrax is built. It is here that they unwittingly unleash an ancient curse -- the curse of the gloamglozer.
