Enter the world of the Shadowlands: the Unicorns

by | Oct 21, 2024 | 0 comments

 

The world of the Shadowlands is built on human mythology (with my own twist, of course) and there are four very important mythological beings in the Shadowlands of Britain that play a huge role in FIRST LIGHT. Today I’m continuing my series on the four main magical creatures in FIRST LIGHT with…

The Unicorns

Yasmin bore a gold sigil on her forehead in an intricate, swirling design where Carys imagined her horn would be in unicorn form.

Carys looked around the forest meadow that the little girl called home. “And what is this place?”

“You are a guest of the Blessing of Moray,” Yasmin said. “This is our current camp.”

The meadow was a wildflower-and-grass-covered island in a forest of pines and cedars. It was filled with bright tents that draped from tree to tree, and the light seemed brighter, as if a glow emanated from the glorious creatures walking among the flowers and trees, a mix of multicolored unicorns and people who were clearly only temporarily in human form.

There were small unicorns and children playing in the grass within the safety of the circle of tents, laughing and jumping in both human and animal form.

“I feel very safe here.” Carys hoped that her instincts were right, because if these creatures were evil, maybe she’d just give in to it.

Nothing this beautiful could be evil.

“You are safe here,” Yasmin said. “The kelpie cannot leave the boundaries of the loch, and Darius will not let anything enter the forest that could bring the children harm.”

“Darius?” Carys looked at the golden-brown unicorn who had attacked the kelpie. Azar was draped across his back, braiding his mane and whispering secrets into his ear as another unicorn tended to the wounds on his side.

“Yes, my mate is the one who rescued you.”

This week is the LAST WEEK to preorder the ebook from my direct store if you’re not a Kindle buyer! You can buy direct and send it to whatever ereader you would like, including your phone, Nook, iPad, etc. But don’t delay because this is the last week before First Light goes into KindleUnlimited.

The hardcover of FIRST LIGHT will be available to order at all major retailers, but you can also order it direct from my Shopify store where it comes with exclusive stickers, bookmarks, and a signed book plate!
