Skandar Smith has always dreamed of traveling to a hidden island and becoming a rider of powerful, untamed unicorns. For years, he has prepared for the Hot Springs exam, the test that determines who is worthy of this destiny. Only a select few 13-year-olds pass and are granted the chance to train as unicorn riders.

But when Skandar unexpectedly fails, his dreams seem shattered, until a mysterious stranger appears at his door in the middle of the night with an urgent message: “The island is in danger, and Skandar must help save it.”

Forget everything you thought you knew about unicorns. In “Skandar and the Unicorn Thief”, they are fierce, untamed creatures, far from the gentle beings of fairy tales. As Skandar embarks on his journey, he finds himself in the midst of celestial battles, dangerous encounters with wild unicorns, and a rising threat from a villain gathering an army of horns.

Join Skandar on this unforgettable adventure, where courage, destiny, and the power of the bond between rider and unicorn will change everything.
