Step into the extraordinary Island of unicorns with the Skandar Series Collection by A.F. Steadman, a six-book bundle bursting with elemental magic, fierce rivalries, and heart-pounding races. Follow thirteen-year-old Skandar Smith as he defies the odds to bond with a deadly, dazzling unicorn and train as a rider among the fiercest competitors on the Island.

Rounded out by the origin companion World of Skandar, it's an unforgettable saga for young fantasy fans who love unicorns and destiny.

About the Books
The Skandar Series Collection builds a cohesive fantasy universe centered on unicorns, courage, and the cost of ambition. At its heart is Skandar Smith, an ordinary boy who dreams of escaping to the mysterious Island where unicorns are hatched, trained, and ridden into deadly races. When he unexpectedly gets his chance, Skandar discovers a world far darker than he imagined, filled with elemental magic, ancient prophecies, and rivalries that can turn deadly in an instant. Across the five paperback novels, the story escalates from personal survival and friendship to sweeping political conflict, as hidden enemies and shifting alliances push Skandar and his unicorn toward an uncertain destiny. Each installment deepens the Island's geography, magic system, and cast of riders, rewarding readers who follow the saga book by book. The hardback companion, World of Skandar: The First Unicorn Rider, steps back to the mythic origins of the unicorn bond, enriching every other title in the set. Themes of destiny versus choice and loyalty under pressure run throughout, giving the series emotional weight alongside its fast-paced action. Whether read straight through or savored one adventure at a time, this collection offers hours of gripping storytelling for confident middle-grade readers ready to be swept away to the Island.
