About The Book

Unite the sisterhood, light the darkness, and take back the reins of destiny! Get ready for one final ride for the fate of the world in Soul Riders: Darkness Falling, the finale to the fantasy trilogy based on the massively popular adventure game, Star Stable Online.

A dark storm is coming to the island of Jorvik, threatening the last haven for the Starbreeds, the rare and mystical horses safeguarding an ancient magic. Only the Soul Riders—best friends Lisa, Anne, Linda, and Alex—can stop the sinister Mr. Sands and his Dark Riders. But will they master their magic powers in time to save their home?

Return to the enchanting island of Jorvik for an unforgettable conclusion to the legend of the Soul Riders. Full of courage, compassion, and an unwavering sense of justice, these four heroines will inspire tween and teen readers to believe in their own magic, too.
