Book description
The first book in a magical tale of fantasy and friendship . . .
On her twelfth birthday, Princess Sylviianel is ceremonially bound
to her own Pegasus, Ebon. For a thousand years humans and pegasi have
lived peacefully in the beautiful green country beyond the wild lands.
They rely on human magicians and pegasi shamans as their only means of
real communication - but not Sylvi and Ebon. Their friendship is like
no other . . . They can understand each other.
But as their bond grows more powerful, it becomes dangerous - could
their friendship threaten to destroy the peace and safety of their two worlds?
Robin McKinley has won many awards, including the Newbery Medal
for The Hero and the Crown, a Newbery Honor for The Blue
Sword, and the Mythopoeic Award for Adult Literature for
Sunshine.
She lives in Hampshire, England with her husband, author Peter
Dickinson, two hellhounds nicknamed Chaos and Darkness, an 1897
Steinway upright named Rhodanthe, and increasing numbers of rose
bushes wedged into three tiny gardens. The view out her office window
is her change-ringing bell tower and in the next village over is a
paragon among horses whom Robin is so fortunate as to have permission
to ride. Check out her blog at robinmckinleysblog. com.
