Cade Quarter has never met his uncle, the infamous 'descender' Nate Quarter, who years ago committed heresy by lowering himself over the cliff-face of the Edge. But Nate has returned, and the Academy of Flight is looking for revenge against all of his supporters - including Cade. So now Cade has to run.
With no money and nowhere else to go, Cade's only option is to stow away aboard the Xanth Filatine - a mighty sky-ship bound for the city of Hive. But getting onto the ship is only the beginning of his troubles, as he runs afoul of thieving goblins, brutal skymarshals, and the threat of 'skyfiring' . . .
The Nameless One is the first book of the Cade Saga - fourth trilogy in The Edge Chronicles, the internationally best-selling fantasy series, which has featured on the UK and the New York Times best-seller lists and sold more than 3 million copies. There are now 13 titles and four trilogies in the series, but each book is a stand-alone adventure, so you can read The Edge Chronicles in any order you choose.

—— Michelle , BCF Book ReviewsThe most original opening I've read in years and a plot twist that turns brilliantly
—— Abi Elphinstone, author of Sky SongThis is a terrific debut of strange myths and dark secrets, fierce loyalties and ruthless villains, told against the thrilling backdrop of a half submerged city.
—— The Bookseller – Editor's ChoiceCompellingly inventive and unpredictable, kept me guessing right till the end.
—— Piers Torday, author of The Last WildAbsolutely cracking! Great characters, with quite the nastiest villain I've met in a long while.
—— Fleur Hitchcock, author of The Boy Who FlewOutstanding and immersive . . . I devoured this in one go
—— book blogger Lily SugarPlum FaeryAn imaginative journey to a stunning fantasy world, full of twists and heart . . . an absolute corker . . . filled with swashbuckling adventure . . . an enthralling fantasy that moves through dark and grisly scenes of grave peril to positively touching moments of profound friendship. An incredibly imaginative narrative that fills its reader with wonder and thrills while also not being afraid to share quieter moments of real heart.
—— The Daily ExpressThere is a touch of Phillip Pullman about the world that Murray creates, and Murray matches Pullman lyrical prose [...] The comparison, however, should not take away from Murray's originality [...] the characters themselves, led by the plucky Ellie, anchor Orphans of the Tide in an urgent, human reality.
—— Irish TimesThe energetic steampunk vibe overlies a thoughtful fable about compassion and justice
—— New Statesman
