Perfect for fans of the Warriors, Survivors, and Guardians of Ga'hoole series, this sequel to The Guardian Herd: Starfire, which Peter Lerangis called ""an epic tale,"" will have readers eagerly turning the pages.

When Star received his powers on his first birthday, he became the most powerful pegasus in Anok. However, many were afraid to follow him, and felt safer staying with their over-stallions. The rest unified with Star and formed River Herd.

But now, not only does a horrible plague threaten the five herds, but Mountain Herd's over-stallion, Rockwing, has plans to kidnap Morningleaf, Star's closest companion, and take back Sky Meadow. Star begins to question his ability to keep his herd safe, especially with the threat of Nightwing the Destroyer's return. As much as Star wants to rely on his friends again for support, he's afraid of the starfire he's inherited. Star can heal, but he can also destroy. And the question is, will his dark powers overcome him?

      Star, the most powerful pegasus in Anok, must learn to control his gift of starfire or risk succumbing to evil as his predecessor, Nightwing the Destroyer, did. Uneasy in his legacy and his role in the newly formed River Herd, Star must decide whether to follow the path of a healer and peacemaker or that of a warrior. When word of a plague sweeping the herds reaches the young pegasus, he offers to help. However, his compassion may be his undoing. He and his friends find themselves in the middle of a feud between the herds that may claim the lives of those Star holds most dear. When Star's closest friend, Morningleaf, is captured by Rockwing as part of his plot to claim the Sun Herd's land, it may be the death of the dream for unity among all of the herds. This epic adventure is filled with complicated ethical dilemmas and life-and-death choices. Fliers and walkers alike must decide between power and humility, bitterness and forgiveness, and war and peace. While this second installment is more richly developed than series opener Starfire (2014), it is still hobbled by a too-large cast with unnecessarily complicated names that have a tendency to run together: Rockwing, Grasswing and Nightwing, Hazelwind and Bumblewind, Echofrost and Frostfire, Darkleaf and Morningleaf-these are just a sampling. The compelling if formulaic plot is muddled by confusing nomenclature. (Fantasy. 8-12)

      Star, the black pegasus given magical powers to heal or destroy on his first birthday (Starfire), is threatened by other herds who fear him and take his best friend hostage. But Star has bigger problems: Nightwing the Destroyer has awakened and wants to kill him. Slack plotting, emotionally overwrought scenes, and an incomplete climax will dispel any lingering reader interest.
