While Aslan and Edmund's sisters race to free the cursed prisoners in the Witch's castle, Edmund consolidates his reformation by aligning himself with Peter's army in battle, where he plays a critical role in neutralizing the White Witch's most dangerous advantage, her wand, and is gravely wounded in the attempt.

Prince Caspian

He and his siblings returned to Narnia to aid Caspian against King Miraz the Usurper. He convinced Trumpkin the dwarf, that they were the Kings and Queens from the legend by defeating him in a sparring practice. He later helped Peter and Trumpkin fight against Nikabrik from harming Caspian in Aslan's How. And he was there to witness Peter's duel against Miraz.

He was also the first person who believed Lucy when she said she saw Aslan clearly, when the rest of them could not. Edmund is shown in a more positive light in this book than in the last. His demeanor is more cooperative and loyal, even under the guidance of Peter.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

Edmund, Lucy and their cousin Eustace ended up in the ocean of Narnia and were reunited with King Caspian in his ship, the Dawn Treader, in a quest to search for the missing Lords that his uncle banished years before. This book was to be Edmund and Lucy's last adventure in Narnia.

The Horse and His Boy

King Edmund, Queen Susan and Tumnus the Faun were unwilling visitors in the country of Calormene, where the prince Rabadash wants to force Susan to marry him. Mistaking Shasta for Prince Corin of Archenland, Narnia's ally, Edmund scolded the young boy for running off and making everyone worry. The Narnians managed to escape by Tumnus' clever idea, which led Rabadash to convince his father that they should take Narnia by invading Archenland.

Shasta managed to warn Archenland in time, and met King Edmund once again, this time with his sister Queen Lucy, in Anvard (Peter was in the North fighting off the giants from the border, Susan was left in charge in Cair Paravel). He led the fight against the Calormene army and defeated them.

The Last Battle

After seeing Tirian's form pleading for their help in England, Peter and Edmund took it upon themselves to go to the Ketterley's old home in London to dig up the magic rings that Professor Kirke buried in the yard as a boy in The Magician's Nephew to be used by Eustace and Jill to reach Narnia. They were waiting for the others at the train platform when the accident happened.

Edmund accompanies everyone, except Susan, into Aslan's country. Like his brother and younger sister, he dies on the train crash and is transferred to Aslan's country, where they live all forever.
