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?

Reviews

A fine addition to a popular series, this volume sends the three main characters into adventures that they can survive only by relying on one other. Series fans will enjoy the dialogue and camaraderie as much as the action.

—— Booklist

It's clever, it has some great tension and when backed with the authors flamboyant writing style alongside his grasp of tactics and strong characters makes this a title that was hard to put down . . . It's a title that really will please as well as enthuse the reader for more. Great stuff.

Nicely woven into this adventure story is an excellent treatment of the interaction between boys and girls during their formative years

—— Bookbitz

The Vampire Hunters is another fantastically written book by Pete Johnson. Packed full of adventure, laughs, intriguing characters and a little bit of blood, this is a must read!

—— Scribbler

Pete Johnson's signature sense of humour is back in force in this book. . . . I cannot recommend The Vampire Hunters enough. It is a an absolute delight to read, and it ticks all the right boxes for its targeted audience: exciting, funny, a bit scary, current

—— Library Mice

Enough twists and turns to make the story unpredictable and compelling

—— Book Angel Booktopia

Witty and funny and exciting, just like the first book. Marcus made a great narrator again . . . It was really intriguing and I think many kids would be hooked on this series of books

—— Readaraptor

Absolutely unputdownable. I raced through it, it was so addictive and I enjoyed every minute of it. I didn't want it to end! I can't recommend this series enough! Read it, then give it to any child you know . . . and then let me know, did YOU guess the ending, or am I the only idiot who didn't?!

—— Bookster Reviews

Bartimaeus is as sardonic, egotistical, and mouthy as ever. This is a superior fantasy.

—— Publishers Weekly

Bartimaeus is back, and he's better than ever! For fans of Bartimaeus, this is an absolute must-buy. For those not yet introduced to him, you may want to give him a try!

—— BCF Book Reviews

Deservedly shortlisted for this year's Costa prize is Jonathan Stroud's The Ring of Solomon....It has magic, intrigue, wit and sassy footnotes.

—— Alison Jay , The Sunday Time

Pace, drama, magic and exotic colour, with Bartimaeus there to give an irreverent, current feel to a story set in the ancient past.
