Dark Unicorns: The Frozen Unicorn

di Alice Hemming (Autore)

Scholastic Fiction, 2022

From Alice Hemming, the bestselling author of The Midnight Unicorn, comes an exciting unicorn fairytale in the Dark Unicorns series. A dark curse. A unicorn in need. A fight to survive. When a usually prosperous kingdom is caught in the grasp of a cruel winter, the community is thrown into a terrible poverty. How can the kingdom survive when crops are lost, livestock is threatened and families are struggling to get by? As the endless winter continues - and becomes known as a Dark Curse plaguing the land - against all odds some families start to flourish again - showing wealth and comfort that seem to have appeared out of nowhere. As if by magic. But lurking beneath the surface is a frightening truth: that soon after a family miraculously pulls themselves out of poverty, they lose one of their own: a sister, a mother, an uncle, a son. In a bid to save herself from this terrible fate, a young girl called Violet flees the kingdom. But curses can never be out-run, and when, years later, Violet hears the rumour of a terrible winter once again spreading across the kingdoms - reaching towards her, it seems - she fears that history is repeating itself. Fuelled by her increasing nightmares of the Dark Curse, Violet vows to find the source of the curse and end the destruction that it wreaks. But the curse is almost as old as time itself, and it's destruction goes deeper than anyone could have imagined. If Violet wants to stop it, she will need to put up the fight of her life.
