The princess, the prince and the hag

Main Elements Unicorns




On night a lonely princess dreams of a handsome hunter on a unicorn, forever riding through the dark land of Unicorn Moon.

He is enchanted by a powerful spell - and can be freed only if she solves a great riddle: What is the meaning of true love?

The author of One Unicorn has woven a haunting new fairy tale, full of both high romance and romantic symbolism, and illustrated with richly detailed full-colour paintings.




The artwork is stunning, I almost recoiled from my screen when the image of the hag appeared. Beautiful beautiful artwork for a beautiful fairy tale story. I enjoyed the use of the unicorn, as a mount for what is a kind of perpetual Wild Hunt. You don't expect in a tale like this that the unicorn will be a terrible terrifying creature. I was a bit surprised at the answer to the riddle but wow, we need more books like this. Stop with the silly nonsense of rainbow poop and create something that is truly beautiful.
