Skandar

Skandar and the Unicorn Thief (Skandar #1) by A.F. Steadman

In a world where unicorns are not the gentle, mystical creatures many believe them to be, Skandar introduces readers to a breathtaking universe where these mythical beings are fierce, wild, and incredibly dangerous. A far cry from the fairy-tale version of unicorns, this series flips the script, giving readers a front-row seat to the thrilling, high-stakes battles between these incredible creatures and the young riders who bond with them.

At the heart of this captivating series is Skandar, a daring and resilient teenager who dreams of riding his very own unicorn and becoming part of a world far more perilous than he ever expected. But when Skandar finally gets his chance, the reality is much darker and deadlier than he imagined. In a world teeming with danger, chaos, and unexpected alliances, Skandar must navigate battles, betrayals, and his own fears, all while uncovering secrets that could change everything.

The Skandar series stands out for its unique take on fantasy, blending fast-paced action, rich world-building, and deep character arcs that draw readers into a world brimming with magic, power, and the complexity of friendship and loyalty. The characters’ bonds with their unicorns are more than just companionship; they are a lifeline in a realm where every decision could mean life or death.
