A poor plumber's boy, he unblocks toilets in the city where he lives \- a breath-taking, mile-high world carved out of the vast upper branches of a giant canopy of trees. Protected by a poisonous shield, he believes his forest kingdom to be the safest place on earth. But while at work, he over hears a plot between a powerful councillor of the island and a secret spy from Maw, a superpower of glass and steel, that intends robbing Arborium of its wood, a natural resource now more precious than gold. Ark is plunged into danger and soon he finds himself on the run, fighting for his life. Together with new found friends, he must travel from the highest tree-tops to the darkest roots of Ravenwood to save his home and his people.

Extraordinary Solar System

Ark vive no alto das últimas árvores que restam no mundo. E, já que mesmo em um país suspenso como Arborium alguém precisa desentupir os canos, ele tem uma profissão: aprendiz de encanador. É enquanto está ocupado com o vaso sanitário de um político poderoso que o garoto se torna testemunha de algo que vai mudar sua vida. Sem querer, Ark entreouve a conversa de conspiradores que pretendem destruir seu país. Uma perversa enviada de Maw, o império inimigo, feito de vidro e metal, planeja tomar as ricas árvores de Arborium e transformá-las em matéria-prima, fazendo de seu povo, os pacíficos dendrianos, nada mais que escravos de seu plano maligno. Flagrado, Ark precisa fugir para não ser morto, e terá de percorrer o gigantesco arvoredo e chegar à sombria Floresta dos Corvos, onde talvez esteja sua única chance de proteger seus amigos e seu lar.

Twisted

Das war knapp! Beinahe hätten sie Ark erwischt. Dabei wollte er doch nur seinen Job erledigen. Ark konnte ja nicht ahnen, dass er dabei Ohrenzeuge einer Verschwörung gegen den König wird. Seitdem sind ihm seine mörderischen Verfolger dicht auf den Fersen. Sie jagen ihn quer durch Arborium, eine fast vergessene Baumwelt, kilometerhoch über dem Erdboden. Auf der Flucht kommt Ark in Regionen, aus denen keiner jemals wieder zurückgekehrt ist. Doch warum greifen ihn die riesigen Raben mit ihren messerscharfen Krallen nicht an? Und wieso interessieren sich die Herrscher aus dem hoch technologisierten Schlundreich plötzlich für Arborium? Ark bleiben nur sechs Tage Zeit es herauszufinden. Dann soll der König ermordet werden.

Ark Malikum

Ark es un chico de 14 años que tiene uno de los trabajos más desagradables en Arborium, la última isla forestada del futuro. Es un pobre fontanero, que se dedica a desatascar los lavabos e inodoros de la ciudad en la que reside- un lugar impresionante, a miles de metros del suelo y construido sobre las ramas superiores de árboles gigantescos. Siempre ha creído que su reino era el sitio más seguro del planeta, pero todo cambia cuando sin querer, escucha una conversación en la que un poderoso consejero real conspira contra el rey y planea secretamente un complot aliándose con los Maw, un imperio poderoso repleto de cristal y metal, que quiere a toda costa, hacerse con la madera de Arborium, un bien más valioso que el oro. ¿Cómo podrá un chico como Ark dar la alarma a tiempo para evitar el desastre si nadie parece querer escucharle, y más aún sabiendo que le han descubierto y quieren matarle? Un viaje trepidante en el que Ark descubrirá el valor de la amistad y algún secreto sobre sí mismo... ¡Llegó la hora de luchar por Arborium!
