Birth of the Firebringer

The first installment in the Firebringer trilogy follows a young, spitfire prince as he embarks on a perilous journey. “The language is poetic, with wonderful rhythm and sweeping images . . . The world is a compelling one, and Jan is a dramatic hero.”—Booklist Aljan; 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 to their lost ancestral home. There, they will view their destinies in the Mirror of the Moon, a rite of passage for all who wish to join the Circle of the Unicorns. The journey is filled with dangers—deadly gryphons, sly pans, wyverns, pards, and renegade unicorns. Although Jan has sworn to behave, his curiosity and impulsiveness lead him, along with his friend Dagg and their mentor Tek, into the greatest dangers. And time after time they are rescued, leading Jan to wonder: Am I the heir of a special destiny?
