    About this ebook

    Elen is a princess of the kingdom of Ymbria. Her greatest wish is to become a rider of worldrunners: the magical horses that are the only safe way to travel the roads through the worlds of Faerie. Now Elen has the chance to fulfill her dream at last, but the price is much too high.

    To become a worldrider, Elen must journey to the House of the Star on Earth, the Arizona ranch where the worldrunners live and breed. There, she must try to forge a peace with her people's worst enemy—a traitor from the world of Caledon—and end the war that has been tearing their worlds apart for centuries. If Elen doesn't succeed, the Master of the House of the Star will close both Ymbria and Caledon off from the worldroads forever. Can the wisdom of a worldrunner named Blanca help Elen in her quest to save her world?

    Caitlin Brennan's first novel for young readers is an enchanting tale of a very special breed of horses, the tribe of horse girls, and faerie magic.

      A good YAish fantasy in which special horses are the key to travel between worlds. Elen, a horse-mad Ymbrian princess, is sent to Earth to worldrider school, along with an equally horse-mad younster from Ymbria's bitter enemy Caledon. The centuries-long war between Ymbria and Caledon is threatening all of the worlds, but Elen is determined not to let go of her bitterness and trust a Caledonian.It helps if you like horses, or at least horse books.
