Katrina Tasslehoff is going on an adventure at last--traveling the countryside of Cantel with her father and brother on their annual merchant trip. But the adventure becomes more than she bargained for when Cantel is invaded by the neighboring country of Virgos. Separated from her family, her country besieged by ruthless invaders, Katrina seems trapped in hopeless circumstances. Yet she has grown up hearing tales of unicorns, a symbol of light even in darkness. The tales suddenly become more than a symbol with an unexpected discovery one morning, and as she forges an unusual friendship, Katrina discovers new possibilities she never dreamed of...perhaps even a possibility of saving Cantel. Explore new lands in Elements, a fantasy series for ages ten and up.
