UNICORN QUEST

Author: Angelica Hart and Ellen Fisher ISBN: 1586083708 2/2005 FANTASY Publisher: NEW CONCEPTS PUBLISHING

Ry, r’uban (prince) of Ror q’Trall, discovers the A’tril (clan outcast) Sahra psychically bonded with the unicorn he planned to capture. He needs the stallion to win the Cyril, a race that determines a clan’s placement among its peers. Without proper placement a clan is subject to raids and Ry is determined to protect his own. Sahra needs the unicorn’s magic to abolish the antiquated practices of clansmen that produce nothing but fatality and devastation. The determined adversaries find themselves battling not just opposing quests but a blazing love that threatens to consume their hearts and destroy their world.

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

UNICORN QUEST is a fantasy with medieval overtones and a hero and heroine that are perfectly matched. Rather short at 108 pages, it still packs a pretty fair punch in a short amount of time.

I've always enjoyed Ellen Fisher's writing style since I first read her several years ago. Obviously, when her style is mixed together with what has to be another very talented writer, what you end up with is a short story that very easily has the potential to be written into a full length book. It's too bad it wasn't for I would have had no problem at all delving more into this fantasized medieval-like place, its mystical beasts and intriguing inhabitants.

The short of it: UNICORN QUEST is one small ebook that might be short on words, but is long enough to deliver with excellent storytelling and well written characters.
