To survive their third year, Skandar and his friends must face a gruelling series of trials that stretch across the Island's elemental zones, each one testing courage, loyalty and the unbreakable bonds between rider and unicorn. Friendships will be strained to breaking point as only the strongest riders can hope to make it through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile, Kenna's forbidden bond with a wild unicorn has left her isolated and increasingly desperate, caught between the world she left behind and the one she is fighting to belong to. When a shocking discovery threatens the very future of the Island, suspicion falls in one direction, and Skandar is forced to confront how far he is truly willing to go to protect the people and the place he loves. As dark forces gather on the horizon, the fate of the Eyrie hangs in the balance in this unputdownable continuation of the Skandar series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBook 3 in the internationally bestselling Skandar fantasy series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new UK hardback edition, perfect for series collectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast-paced, immersive fantasy ideal for readers aged 9-12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat read for fans of Harry Potter, Percy Jackson and Eragon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkandar and the Phantom Rider was a Sunday Times Best Books for Children pick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA thoughtful gift for young fantasy and adventure lovers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAnnabel Steadman, who writes as A.F.
