About the Book Skandar and his sister Kenna are finally both training at the Eyrie, but old tensions have not disappeared - if anything, they have grown sharper than ever. 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. Meanwhile, 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.
