The Island always wins…

Skandar and his sister Kenna are finally both at the Eyrie, but tensions are high.

To survive their third year of training, Skandar and his friends must complete a series of terrifying trials across the Island’s elemental zones. Friendships, allegiances and rider-unicorn bonds will be pushed to the limit – only the strongest will make it.

Meanwhile Kenna’s forged bond to a wild unicorn has left her alienated and alone. And when a terrible discovery puts the future of the Island in peril, all fingers point in one direction . . . As dark forces assemble, Skandar must decide how far is he willing to go – for Kenna, and for the Eyrie.

Get ready for unlikely heroes, elemental magic, sky battles, ancient secrets and ferocious unicorns in this highly anticipated adventure that will keep you reading after lights out!

Absolutely love this series, can’t wait to read the next one. I’m a huge fan of magical stories, Harry Potter, Eragon, Nevermoor. If you love those books, you will also love Skandar.

Both siblings are so annoying skandar refuses to tell his sister the fact she stole someone else’s unicorn and that what she did was wrong he also lets say and do whatever she wants because he feels guilty. Even after being told he will be betrayed by the person closest to him he still does so many stupid things when it comes to his sister. And even though this review is a bit negative the story is really interesting. Though the smith siblings are pushing my annoyance button constantly.
