A magic pendant, a mystical unicorn, and a race to rescue it from the fairy folk before it's too late... Glenna's life is anything but ordinary. The daughter of Renaissance festival vendors, Glenna's days are filled with magic and medieval reenactments as she travels the faire circuit with her family. Then one day, Glenna's life changes forever. With the help of a pendant, she discovers Otherworld. An enchanted realm, Otherworld is the land in which all of the myths and magic woven by the Renaissance players comes to life! When Glenna stumbles across an injured unicorn in the woods, she knows she must do all she can to help it. But as Glenna soon learns, there's something quite different about this unicorn. It's unlike any unicorn the residents of Otherworld have ever seen, and the fairy folk are determined to keep it for themselves. Can Glenna discover the secret of the unicorn? Can she rescue it before the fairy folk ensnare it? And perhaps most importantly, can she juggle both her life in the real world and her life in Otherworld without damaging either? If you like strong female characters, dangerous quests, and epic journeys through vivid lands of imagination, you'll love Legend of the Unicorns.
