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 wonder- 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.""-Booklist

Reviews for Birth of the Firebringer

The language is poetic, with wonderful rhythm and sweeping images...The world is a compelling one, and Jan is a dramatic hero. <i>Booklist</i> The untangling of the satisfying plot and Pierce's ability to foster belief in her unicorns, consistently describing the action as these horse-like animals feel and sense it, are enhanced by her stately use of language and the sense of their history and culture which she creates and sustains. <i>School Library Journal</i>
