"Book 4 in the epic Skandar series brings unlikely heroes, elemental magic, sky battles, secrets, and more fierce unicorns! "
Skandar and the Skeleton Curse, the gripping fourth book in the hugely popular Skandar series, plunges readers into darker territory as a deadly curse sweeps the Island, killing unicorns and endangering riders. Tied to corrupted Spirit magic, the curse places suspicion once again on Skandar and Callie. As Skandar uncovers the true origins of unicorns and Spirit magic—revealing they are not evil but dangerously unstable—he must embrace his powers fully to save his friends, risking corruption in the process. Meanwhile, the revelation that Gideon is still alive and sowing chaos from the shadows adds a chilling twist. With growing mistrust among riders and a fractured Island left behind, Skandar breaks the curse but realises that the true battle is still to come—the Spirit War that could decide the fate of the Island itself.

"This fourth book of the series is brilliant. I have loved reading every single page. I didn't think it could get any better and then out comes the flaming fireballs, I mean wow, flaming fireballs. I feel like I am a part of the story. The quartet is quickly growing up, there are now cursed unicorns and keen is completely out of control. It's time for Skandar to face his fears. Looking forward to book number 5."

Skandar and the Skeleton Curse is an exciting, magical adventure with brave friends, wild unicorns, and creepy mysteries. A must-read for anyone who loves thrilling stories, friendship, and heroic battles! I LOVED it!
This book was AMAZING! I couldn’t stop reading it. I loved Skandar and the Skeleton Curse so much – it’s full of magic, unicorns (but not the cute fluffy ones – these ones are wild and awesome!), and so many exciting twists.
Skandar is such a cool character - brave, clever and doesn’t give up even when things get super scary. I also liked his friends, especially Flo and Bobby – they’re such a good team. I wish I could go to the Eyrie and ride a unicorn with them!
The story was really exciting from the start - battles, mysteries, secrets, and the Skeleton Curse was soooo creepy and cool at the same time.... Read Full Review
I could not put it down
It is an adventurous book and it is exciting. The new weaver makes up a curse and tries to harm the unicorns. Skandar is so brave and makes it into the chaos cup. Flo at the end of the book betrays Skandar. There is and exciting storyline which is great and I love it. There are loads of amazing adventures. Skandar is courageous and speaks against his sister Kenna. I really enjoyed reading it and found it impossible to stop reading. The story leaves you at a bit of a cliffhanger at the end and I really want to find out more and to keep reading because it's exciting and adventurous.... Read Full Review
