Skandar and the Curse of the Skeleton
HEROES CONQUER THEIR GREATEST FEARS
The thrilling fourth adventure in the international bestseller series *Skandar and the Thief of the Unicorn*, from A. F. Steadman’s young adult fiction series for readers aged 9 to 99. The most popular fantasy hero since Harry Potter is Skandar! As Skandar and his friends begin their fourth year at Eagle’s Nest, the island’s unicorns fall victim to a terrible curse that threatens to change everything. Caught between the Archangel’s decision to eradicate the ethereal realm entirely, and his sister’s relentless quest for vengeance, Skandar is nowhere safe. And as the curse strikes more and more unicorns, time is running out for Skandar and his quartet, who are, quite literally, racing for their lives. Will they be able to stop the curse before the Island is lost forever?
