4-6Edge Chronicles series.
When the leader of the floating city of Sanctaphrax dies, his daughter is taken by scheming relatives, and his apprentice, Quint, is enrolled in the famed Knights Academy. Meanwhile, a harsh snowstorm threatens the existence of Sanctaphrax and a power struggle ensues, partially masterminded by one of Quint's conniving squire-mates. Though this epic story is slow to unfold, it is richly detailed.
