The Goodness of Unicorns by Kayla E. Green
One girl determined to heal her sister and another looking
for purpose in a nation on the brink of war. And unicorns—with a
twist you’ve never seen before.
It's Rowan Tritonia's sixteenth Naming Anniversary. Her plans for
the day never included a headache that causes her to almost faint
on a day meant for celebration. When the world comes back into
focus, her brown eyes have changed to magenta. But what scares her
more is that everything around her is now black and white coupled
with a mysterious ability to see the light and shadows in a
person's soul. Then a local cleric implies that Rowan could have
the power of Sight, a gift which has only been seen in the stories
of unicorns in the Book of Verimor, an ancient text. Rowan is
perplexed. Why would Verimor give her something she never asked for
instead of answering her greatest prayer to help her younger
sister, Blythe?
News of the girl with Sight quickly travels beyond Rowan's local
village. When the King of Wisteria learns of her gift from a
letter, he summons her to the castle. With growing political
tensions from neighboring nations, Rowan may be able to provide the
aid they desperately need. Linnea, the king's sister and his
primary advisor, prays that Rowan has truly been blessed by a
unicorn and can save the nation and its people from encroaching
darkness.
Meanwhile, back at home, Blythe, sets out on her own journey. She
feels helpless, tied down by the pain that keeps her homebound most
of the time. Although she wears a smile to comfort those around
her—especially her family—Blythe wonders if her life will ever
amount to anything more than fading into the background. Is she
truly too broken for any greater purpose, or can Verimor still use
her?
