Most would say the "sweet" and "quiet" Signorina Arabella Belmonte has lived a quiet life as a young noblewoman in her family's castello. But little do they know she pens treatises criticizing the realm's warmongers . . . and now there's a price on her head. As she struggles to hide her seditious activities, a chance encounter with a unicorn leaves her with four hooves and a horn of her own-and a form she can't control. The dark-elf queen has offered her a chance to acquire that control . . . if Bella can find the unicorn who turned her.Prince Dhuro of Nightbloom has never met a problem he couldn't solve with his fists-that is, until he fought his sister for a place in the army's elite forces and lost. When the light-elves defeated them and his father was executed, Dhuro's inner demons laid claim to the whole of him. Now Immortal beasts are growing in power and threatening his people.Dhuro has a chance to help his people win, but his mother, the queen, sends him on a fool's errand instead-helping a human newly turned unicorn find her sire, and asking the impossible: whether the Elder of the pacifistic unicorns will stand with them against the beasts ravaging his people.Contains mature themes.
