Synopsis
Midnight Over Sanctaphrax is the third installment of the Twig saga within the Edge Chronicles. Having journeyed beyond the Edge in the earlier books, Twig alone grasps that a catastrophic storm is bearing down on the floating city of Sanctaphrax, a threat no one else in his world has reason to anticipate. Before he can carry his warning home, his ship is destroyed, and he loses both his crew, who are scattered across the Edge, and his own memory of what he had learned. Stripped of the knowledge that could save the city and separated from the companions who might have helped him, Twig must find a way to recover what he has lost while the unseen danger continues to approach Sanctaphrax and the people who depend on it.
