All Bronte Tempestra has ever wanted is to be a knight. She dreams of dramatic rescues, of honour and chivalry. So when Sir Sebastian’s School for Squires suddenly announces its opening its doors to girls as well as boys, she’s first to enrol.
It’s a bit disappointing that there’s not quite the emphasis on heroic deeds she’d expected, but worse, something is clearly wrong in the Weather Kingdoms – the lightning steeds have gone missing, the thunder trolls are roaming wild and someone is mutating the animals in the forest, making them much meaner and positively dangerous.
When their headmaster refuses to do anything, it’s up to Bronte and her new friend Tonkins to save the days – just as well she’s properly courageous. Mixing school story with knightly quests and cute animals, this fantasy adventure will be much enjoyed by young readers and the good news is there are more adventures to come for Bronte.

A fun-filled fantasy quest starring an unforgettable new hero: Bronte Tempestra!
Read the full description
Bronte Tempestra of the Storm Kingdom is taking charge of her own destiny - she will be the first ever princess to become a knight! But knight school isn't the fun-filled adventure Bronte is expecting - the knights don't seem interested in saving . . . anything. And when she discovers that the Lightning Steeds have gone missing, leaving the Thunder Trolls to wreak havoc across the lands, she knows it's her moment to prove just how brave a princess can be.
Bronte must face down pompous griffin lords and bare-bottomed cloud-stealing gnomes, monstrous horrorflies and spooky zombits. The future of the entire kingdom is at stake!
It's time for the princess to rescue the knights!
The first book in a new fantasy series for readers aged 7 and up, packed with illustrations.
Perfect for fans of Rainbow Grey, Witch Wars and The Princess in Black.

I can’t wait to dress up as Bronte for World Book Day with a cool blue streak in my hair
I really enjoyed Bronte Tempestra and the Lightning Steeds because it was fun to imagine going to knight school. Bronte made me laugh when she was always so shocked at how lazy the student knights really were. Lord Errol and Tonkins were also hilarious because they were always complaining about each other, and they had no idea that they were actually very similar.... Read Full Review
A fun book about a girl knight and crazy animals
This book is about a little girl who wants to be a knight so she goes to Knight school. She gets frustrated with all the boys training to be knights because they're all so lazy!
My favourite part is when Lord Errol the griffin gets trapped in a net and Bronte and her new best friend Tonkins help him escape.... Read Full Review
