Skandar and the Unicorn Thief

No fluffy pink unicorns in sight! These malevolent beasts will kill if they get the chance. When Skandar turns 13, he is spirited to the Island to try his luck at becoming a unicorn rider. But dark forces are at play – a twisted enemy has stolen the most powerful unicorn and becoming a rider is suddenly more dangerous than he could ever have imagined.

Get ready for unlikely heroes, elemental magic, fierce sky battles and ancient secrets. The first in a trilogy, for fans of Harry Potter and Percy Jackson.
