By 2001, however, all three books were out of print and hard to find. Son of the Summer Stars, last in the trilogy, was released in hardcover in 1996. I carry on mental conversations with myself, along the lines of: Here's where Book 1 ended. Writing a story, for me at least, is an extended exercise in problem-solving. I also knew that the gryphons would switch sides at some point, becoming allies of the unicorns, but had no idea how or why. "After I finished Birth of the Firebringer, about all I knew about what was going to happen in Volumes 2 and 3 of the trilogy was that in Volume 2 (Dark Moon) the hero, Jan, would become separated from unicorn herd and spend some time in a human city, observing how two-foots (humans) wield and manipulate fire, and that in Volume 3 (The Son of Summer Stars), there would be a huge battle between the unicorns and their ancestral enemies, the wyverns. Pierce mentions the gap during her interview with Wolfen Moondaughter and Tori Morris in the November 2002 issue of Sequential Tart: The second book in the series, Dark Moon, wasn't to appear in hardcover until 1992. By 1988, it had been translated into Danish and Swedish and uniquely different cover art across four editions.
Birth of the Firebringer, the first book in Pierce's series, was released as a hardcover in the United States in 1985.
