About The Book

Gallop back into a magical world in Soul Riders: The Legend Awakens, the second book in the fantasy trilogy based on the massively popular adventure game, Star Stable.

According to ancient myths, when the Soul Riders and their horses are gathered together, they will be able to defeat the evil that threatens the island, but with Lisa’s horse, Starshine, having been stolen, and her father disappeared, there’s no time to think about old stories. Together with Alex and Linda, Lisa embarks on a dangerous journey, while Anne finds herself on a separate path, lost in the mystical dimension of Pandoria, where darkness lurks and fills her with doubt. Will the four Soul Riders reunite and discover that they’re most powerful together?

The island of Jorvik is a junction between the real world and an unseen realm of magic, and a celebration of the bond shared by horse and rider. Reunite with the Soul Riders, and be a part of the unforgettable journey, learning alongside each heroine that courage, compassion, and sisterhood can light any darkness.

Bound by fate, the Soul Riders must come together to take back the reins of destiny!
