Title:  Birth of the Firebringer, Vol. 1
Author:  Meredith Ann Pierce
Reviewer:  Daniel R. '11

The book, The Birth of Firebringer, is about Jan, a unicorn who is the son of the prince.  He tries to become initiated and accepted as a warrior.  He can't because of his mischievous games.  He finally gains the pride of his father, so is allowed to go. He gets lost and the Healer, who had sung away his dreams, returns them to the herd. Jan didn't see his dream so he ran away, and eventually went into the wyverns caves. He and his friends Tak and Dagg kill the mistress of the wyverns fire, and in the end Jan realizes he is the Firebringer, the one who is meant to save the unicorns and lead them into battle for their ancestral homes which were stolen by the wyverns.
