About this title

About the Author:

Adam Blade is in his late twenties, and was born in Kent, England. His parents were both history teachers and amateur artists, and Adam grew up surrounded by his father's paintings of historic English battles which left a lifelong mark on his imagination. He was also fascinated by the ancient sword and shield that hung in his father's office. Adam’s father said they were a Blade family heirloom.

Sadly, Adam does not have his own Ice Dragon or Ghost Panther. But he really wishes he did!

From Beast Quest #20: Amulet of Avantia: Equinus the Spirit Horse

Jak looked hard. His friend was right. He could just make out a glint of hooves and he realized that the hoofbeats must be causing the vibrations. He caught a glimpse of a man sitting tall in the saddle. "I wonder who the rider is," he said as the horse got closer. "No, wait... " With rising horror, he saw that the man's body was joined to the horse. It was some kind of Beast-part man, part horse. But the Beasts didn't exist, did they? They were just made-up stories of Avantia that Jak repeated when he wanted to scare his little brother.

The Beast suddenly became transparent and Jak felt his jaw drop open in shock.
