About this ebook
Perfect for fans of the Warriors, Survivors, and Guardians of Ga'hoole series, this sequel to The Guardian Herd: Starfire, which Peter Lerangis called "an epic tale," will have readers eagerly turning the pages.
When Star received his powers on his first birthday, he became the most powerful pegasus in Anok. However, many were afraid to follow him, and felt safer staying with their over-stallions. The rest unified with Star and formed River Herd.
But now, not only does a horrible plague threaten the five herds, but Mountain Herd's over-stallion, Rockwing, has plans to kidnap Morningleaf, Star's closest companion, and take back Sky Meadow. Star begins to question his ability to keep his herd safe, especially with the threat of Nightwing the Destroyer's return. As much as Star wants to rely on his friends again for support, he's afraid of the starfire he's inherited. Star can heal, but he can also destroy. And the question is, will his dark powers overcome him?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This story started off with a trot and developed into a full gallop, leaving the reader breathless at the cliffhanger ending. I kept turning the last page over and over hoping there was more! A thrilling follow-up to the stunning debut of the Guardian Herd series. Readers who are new to the series won't have any problems catching onto the well developed, well paced storyline full of dips and turns and surprises.
When Star receives his power on his first birthday, he believes he can unite the tribes and live in harmony, but not everyone shares his vision. Those who believe in Star become his followers, the River Herd tribe. But when the tribe, ruled by a council of pegasi and not an over-stallion, cannot decide where to go to get the food and shelter they need to survive, more division follows.
Still new to his power, Star discovers he can heal or destroy depending on how he feels. Learning how to develop his power and control his feelings provide an undercurrent of tension beneath the main storyline.
This action packed novel delivers a great story full of the nuances Alvarez is known for including well-developed characters full of internal and external conflict tackling the themes of love, hope, loyalty, betrayal, forgiveness, and anger, as well as the eternal desire for peace and the inescapable threat of evil. A wonderful story for children and adults of all ages.
