About This Book
Reach for this book when your adolescent is struggling with the pressure of high expectations or feels like an outsider within their own community. It is a powerful story for children who feel they are being asked to grow up too fast or who are facing a major life transition alone. In this second installment of the Firebringer trilogy, Jan, a young unicorn prince destined for greatness, is separated from his herd and must survive among a strange race of humans. The story explores themes of self-reliance, the burden of destiny, and the discovery of hidden talents. It is a sophisticated high fantasy that uses the metaphor of a legendary quest to address the very real teenage experience of finding one's identity away from the safety of home. While the setting is magical, the emotional core is deeply grounded in the resilience required to overcome fear and master new skills under pressure.
