Meet A.F. Steadman

Deadly Unicorns! Magic! Adventure! An epic series that we can't stop reading!

Meet internationally bestselling author AF Steadman, writer of the incredibly popular Skandar series, for a special book signing to celebrate the publication of the third book in the series: Skandar and the Chaos Trials!

Heroes and unicorns as you've never seen them before. The epic adventure continues. The Island always wins… Skandar and his sister Kenna are finally both at the Eyrie, but tensions are high. To survive their third year of training, Skandar and his friends must complete a series of terrifying trials across the Island’s elemental zones. Friendships, allegiances and rider-unicorn bonds will be pushed to the limit – only the strongest will make it. Meanwhile Kenna’s forged bond to a wild unicorn has left her alienated and alone. And when a terrible discovery puts the future of the Island in peril, all fingers point in one direction . . . As dark forces assemble, Skandar must decide how far is he willing to go – for Kenna, and for the Eyrie.

One of the most successful children’s fantasy series of the twenty-first century, the Skandar series began in 2022 with Skandar and the Unicorn Thief, which scooped the prestigious accolade of Waterstones Children’s Book of the Year in 2022. A gripping story set on a mysterious island off the British mainland and featuring young unicorn riders facing down a deadly plot from a sinister figure called the Weaver, the book has thus far spawned four equally popular sequels. The series has been translated into 47+ languages and a film produced by Sony Pictures is in the works. Join the legions of Skandar fans across the UK and get ready to be obsessed!
