Author’s Comments
It’s one of Kalla’s mysteries that winged horses bond to the perfect flyer, and this was never more true than with Larkyn Hamley and her beautiful little stallion Black Seraph, who Lark calls Tup. Tup is as fiercely independent and impulsive as Lark herself, and his spirit and strength are her greatest protection.
Reviews
Monsters and Critics:
“Strong character development, politics, and magical horses all add up to what promises to be a lively and engaging trilogy.”
Booklist:
“Bishop enables us to visualize the horses in solo flight and complicated formations, scenes at the academy are utterly real, and the characters have dimension. A thoroughly satisfying read.”
BookLoons:
“The Horsemistress Saga promises to be an exciting ride. ”
TeensReadToo.com:
“The more I read, the more involved and in love I am with these books. They are completely absorbing. The world that is created is so rich and full and real. The characters are wonderfully interesting and well-developed. I feel like I live inside this world and I know these people. This is great fantasy at work.
I’m not ready for this series to be done yet, and thankfully it isn’t, but I’m not sure I ever want it to end.”
