IN A WORLD BEYOND THE WORLD, DRAGONS AND WONDERS: the second book in a fantasy trilogy of huge charm and dynamism, and great potential.
The Turned World has become our own world, almost. The story begins in the 19th century with the eruption of Krakatoa – and the reader is hurled, brilliantly, BETWEEN worlds. Through a series of fabulous landscapes our heroes arrive at the Wall. This is the world of Stone, called Amara – and a world as coherent as McCaffrey’s Pern yet as relevant to the reader’s own view of the universe as John Crowley’s Aegypt series.
Edwards is a very significant writer in this respect. The Wall shelters entirely new and strange creatures, such as the Tam, insectile beings that evolve rapidly to sentience whenever there is a breach in the Wall, which they repair and then revert. There are stone-age human settlements in extraordinary buildings, plant life between the cracks in the stones of the wall – and the dragon descendants of characters from the first series.
The story is action-packed and the plot extremely strong. Added to this, the central characters develop in totally convincing if startling directions.

'Stone & Sea'
In a world beyond our world … dragons and wonders
Stone is a wall the size of a world. Through the cracks in Stone's mighty wall emerge creatures from all the ages of life on Earth. In this strange vertical realm, where the clouds tumble downwards and the greatest peril is to fall, Jonah Lightfoot and Annie West come face to face with dryads and dragons, a forest that talks, a globe-shaped ship. Ancient myth and the magic by which our world once ruled are alive still on Stone … and the magic is just beginning. Archan the immortal red dragon – forever evil – is on her way back to Stone from the abysses into which she was cast.
Praise for 'Stone and Sky':
'An imaginative tour de force, quality writing – a superior work of fantasy'
