PAPERBACK
Author: A.F. Steadman
Bloodthirsty unicorns. Elemental magic. Sky battles. Welcome to the world of SKANDAR AND THE UNICORN THIEF - the electrifying first book in the bestselling Skandar series.
Thirteen-year-old Skandar Smith has always dreamed of becoming a unicorn rider. Each year, only a handful of children are chosen to travel to the mysterious Island, hatch a unicorn, and bond with it for life. To Skandar, there is no greater honour.
But unicorns in this world are not gentle fairy-tale creatures. They are fierce, powerful, and tied to elemental magic - fire, water, earth, air… and something far darker.
Just as Skandar’s dream seems within reach, a terrifying enemy strikes, stealing the Island’s most powerful unicorn. As danger closes in, Skandar uncovers secrets that shake everything he thought he knew about unicorns - and about himself.
Fast-paced, imaginative, and packed with high-stakes adventure, Skandar and the Unicorn Thief blends thrilling competition with deep friendship and epic fantasy world-building. With sky races, ancient rivalries, and a mystery at its heart, it’s a story that keeps readers turning pages long after lights out.
A huge word-of-mouth hit and award-winning sensation, this is perfect for readers who love magical training schools, unlikely heroes, and richly imagined fantasy worlds.
