The poetic rhythm and vivid imagery that Meredith Ann Pierce weaves throughout "Birth of the Firebringer" promise to transport you into a fantastical realm that is as compelling as it is perilous.

Description

Volume One of the Firebringer Trilogy. Jan, the prince of the unicorns, is high-spirited, reckless, and the despair of his mighty father, Korr. Reluctantly, Korr allows Jan to accompany the other initiate warriors on a pilgrimage. Soon Jan's curiosity leads him, along with his friend Dagg, and their mentor, the female warrior Tek, into the greatest dangers - deadly gryphons, sly pans, wyverns, pards, and renegade unicorns. Yet time after time they are rescued, leading Jan to question, "Am I the heir to a special destiny?" The language is poetic, with wonderful rhythm and sweeping images. The world is a compelling one, and Jan is a dramatic hero.
