Overview
Soar into a thrilling fantasy world with the Brightstorm series by Vashti Hardy, a three-book paperback collection following twins Arthur and Maudie Brightstorm as they take to the skies aboard the airship Aurora. When their explorer father is disgraced and lost on a doomed expedition, the twins set out to clear his name, uncover long-buried secrets, and outwit their scheming aunt Eudora Vane. Packed with sky-ships, mechanical creatures, sky pirates, and daring discovery, this complete set is perfect for young adventurers who love fast-paced, imaginative fantasy fiction and courageous sibling heroes.
About the Books
The Brightstorm series follows twins Arthur and Maudie Brightstorm, whose lives are turned upside down when news arrives that their famous explorer father died attempting to reach the southernmost point of the world — and stands accused of theft before his death. Determined to restore their family's honor, the twins join the crew of the airship Aurora, captained by the fearless explorer Harriet Culpepper, and set off on a race across uncharted skies. Across the trilogy, the twins face sky pirates, treacherous weather, and the ever-present scheming of their ambitious aunt Eudora Vane, who is determined to erase the Brightstorm name from history. In Darkwhispers, the search for a missing adventurer draws the crew of the Aurora into a rival expedition led by Eudora herself, forcing the twins to question who they can trust. Firesong takes the adventure north to a volcanic land tied to the moth symbol of their family's past, where long-buried secrets about their parents finally come to light. Vashti Hardy builds a richly imagined world of airships, ingenious inventions, and courageous exploration, blending adventure with real emotional depth as Arthur and Maudie grow more confident and resourceful with every journey. Fans of inventive, high-stakes fantasy adventure with strong sibling bonds and clever world-building will find this trilogy hard to put down, whether read independently or aloud as a family.
