The Bredanari ride the land on their eerie silver hellhorses, as messengers and keepers of the peace. A chance encounter leads young Kat, an innkeeper's daughter, to leave home in pursuit of the chance of becoming the rider of such a horse. But the odds are stacked against her. Can she overcome the opinion of her teachers and fellow students who believe that a lowly innkeeper's daughter has no place in their academy. And more importantly, can she control her own fiery temper? For to control a hellhorse, you must first control yourself.
Enjoyable YA fantasy. Adults may find Kat a bit of a brat in first few chapters, but when she reaches the Academy, her stubbornness & stormy nature is transformed into determination and courage, and she show more becomes a very engaging heroine. show less

Enjoyable, YA read . Light fantasy, but with strong characters.
Very forgettable!
Bladvändare som upptas av systemet utan minsta motstånd. Självständigt stereotypisk, kan man få uppfinna en sådan litterär benämning? Skiljer sig från mängden, men på ett stereotypt och ganska förväntat sätt. Hästar!
