When reading the title you probably thought, "what the hell is he talking about?". The Edge Chronicles books are a series of fantasy books (probably for around ages 11 to 15). But I recommend the books to anyone. Heres the covers of a few of the books to give you a taster of what it's like:   I am hoping that Racssirt will give you more info about them as I know he is a fan of the books. |

They are stocked in most book and shops, WHSmith etc.
As I said they may appeal more to children but I know a few adults who've enjoyed them. ;D Some of the illustrations are jut plain creepy.

@genestealer- You haven't read the whole series now! They've brought out new books. BTW I reck on Freegrader is one of the best, has a huge battle at the end. I've got some cheerful pics to show everyone:  I forgot who it is, but it's someone dying  Woodwolf... maybe it's time to run Rook. I hope everyone enjoyed those. |

A freaky picture which put me off when I tried reading the first book when I was about 7 or 8 years old:  A close up on the face:  Thanks for looking!  (Pictures taken by me, sorry if they are poor quality ) |
