Jorrie and the Skyhorse

by Zoë Landale

Overview

Running away to an inn at the edge of the world where monsters slide through from other dimensions might not be 16-year-old Jorrie's smartest plan, but she's out of options.

 

To avoid being sent to a military academy for out-of-control teens, Jorrie flees to an inn at the edge of the world owned by relatives she barely knows. When a skeleton is discovered in a near-by pond, long-hidden family secrets start emerging. Jorrie has no magical Talent, is scared of the country and can't understand how she got herself into such a mess. Of course, things can always get worse as she finds out when a dwarrow accuses her of stealing, and she bonds with a wolfhound, triggering a spell that will stop her heart if she doesn't get help from a dangerous High One.

 

How much will Jorrie risk to save her dog? And untaught and injured, can she uncover a Talent of her own in time to prevent someone from burning down the inn and everyone in it?

 

Jorrie and the Skyhorse is the first book in an alternate world Young Adult fantasy series that features a daring heroine, fast-paced adventure, and mythic animals that fly. If you like unique richly detailed world-building, and unexpected plot twists, you'll love this page-turner of a book by multiple award-winning author Zoë Landale.
