Humans have nearly driven the unicorns of Lazaronia to extinction, mainly for the beauty and value of their silver ivory horns. But a power with an even more evil purpose is now determined to wipe them out and succeeds in killing Albishadewe's parents, leaving him wondering if he is the last of his kind. While searching for other unicorns, he seeks refuge as a member of a pony pack, knowing he is safe in the open until his horn starts growing. Just as his itching forehead tells him that time has come, a young woman, accompanied by her unicorn-hunting mistress, suddenly confronts him in the Silver Forest of Argentsiana. Albishadewe knows he should flee. But there is something about Dahrya that makes him stay. She claims to be an ordinary womana mere servantyet how come she can see him in the forest, where even sorcerers' eyes see only shadows? Could she be Argentsiana, the lost blind Goddess of the Silver Forest? Albishadewe must unravel the mystery of who Dahrya is to save his land from the evil swamping it. But the knowledge brings him more grief than he can bear ...

Autorenporträt

Laraine Anne Barker has always enjoyed telling stories. As a child, when playing with dolls with her younger sisters became boring, she would make up stories featuring the dolls. She also remembers how she and her sisters wrote stories into exercise books and even illustrated them, using crayons to colour them because they found that rubbing on the crayon pictures gave them a shine similar to that of glossy colour pictures in magazines. Laraine submitted her first book (for adults) to a publisher at about the age of 21 and received a very kind rejection letter in which the editor suggested the story could be rewritten for young readers. She regrets she didn't keep the rejection and follow up on the advice. She didn't start writing fantasy for young readers until 1986. After many rewritings the book started then became The Obsidian Quest (published under the Hard Shell imprint of Mundania Press). The Obsidian Quest was a finalist in The Dream Realm Awards 2001 and was followed by Lord of Obsidian and The Third Age of Obsidian, also published under the Hard Shell imprint of Mundania Press. The Mark Willoughby series was started in 1992. Silvranja of the Silver Forest was short-listed (one of three) in 1998 for a major New Zealand prize, The Tom Fitzgibbon Memorial Award.
