When his dream finally comes true, he is thrown into a far more dangerous world than he ever imagined, uncovering secrets about his own family along the way. In Skandar and the Phantom Rider, Skandar has achieved his dream of training at the Eyrie, but as he and his friends enter their second year, immortal wild unicorns begin dying mysteriously and a chilling prophecy threatens the entire Island. Skandar and the Chaos Trials sees Skandar and his sister Kenna finally reunited at the Eyrie, but with tensions running high, Skandar and his friends must survive a series of terrifying trials across the Island's elemental zones, pushing every friendship and rider-unicorn bond to breaking point. Finally, in Skandar and the Skeleton Curse, Skandar begins his fourth year only to find the Island's unicorns struck by a devastating curse, while a ruthless Commodore determined to eliminate spirit magic and a vengeful sister threaten to destroy everything he has fought for. Together, these four books form one thrilling, continuous story of courage, loyalty and untamed magic that has captivated young readers worldwide and topped bestseller charts on both sides of the Atlantic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete run of four thrilling Skandar adventures in one great-value set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom a genuine New York Times bestselling fantasy series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for fans of unicorns, dragons and epic elemental magic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrong, brave characters and fast-paced, page-turning plots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal gift for readers aged 9-12 and fantasy-loving older readers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new condition, ready to read straight away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA.F. Steadman grew up in the Kent countryside, getting lost in fantasy worlds and scribbling stories in notebooks from a young age, dreaming up islands, unicorns and adventures long before she ever wrote them down.
