[edit] Plot summary

In trying to save his father Cloud Wolf from the vortex he was trapped in during the Great Storm, Twig learns that Sanctaphrax is about to be destroyed by the Mother Storm which will replenish the waters of the Edge. He and the crew of the Edgedancer are then scattered across the Edge by the collapse of the vortex, with no memory of the voyage into open sky. A dazed Twig is rescued from the Stone Gardens by the Professor of Darkness and taken to Sanctaphrax where he is made the new Sub Professor of Light and kept safely away from the other academics. On recovering from his condition, Twig makes a young sub-Acolyte, Cowlquape, his "apprentice" and with his help they set off to find the missing crew and discover the memories that could save the Edge from destruction.
