chronology of the overall Edge Chronicles series, as although the story takes place at
one point in time (between The Winter Knights and Clash of the Sky Galleons), it is narrated from the viewpoint of a later point in
time, as the older Maugin reminisces. It could perhaps be placed in between the Twig and Rook Barkwater sequences. Quint brings
Maugin aboard The Galerider, which is captained by Wind Jackal. In Clash of the Sky Galleons, she is described as the newest
member of the crew.
