The Firebringer trilogy by Meredith Ann Pierce is a three-book young adult fantasy published between 1985 and 1996. The series follows Jan, a young unicorn, and his herd as they fight to reclaim their ancestral homeland from griffins and wyverns.
Pierce treats the unicorns as a fully realized warrior culture with their own myths, rituals, and political structures. The trilogy moves from Birth of the Firebringer through Dark Moon to The Son of Summer Stars, building a complete mythological arc. Like her Darkangel Trilogy, the Firebringer books are known for their literary prose and imaginative world-building.
