War Unicorn: The Ring
Aldric is content working in his family’s apple orchard—or as content as a fourteen-year-old-boy can be doing chores and dreaming up new magic—when he digs up an antique ring and releases a rude spell-bound unicorn. She claims she belongs to the king, but after her long imprisonment, she can’t tell Aldric which king that might be. Aldric promises to take her to the capital, and suddenly a simple three-day trip becomes an adventure.
War is building on his country’s borders, and even with the help of Aldric’s new friend Iggy, and Gwen, the general’s daughter, it’s going to take all the military sword training, courage, and magic Aldric has to find the unicorn’s rightful king. Promises will be made, the bonds of family and friendship will be tested, with a war which changes everything.
Can an apple farmer and one rude war unicorn save the country from the approaching enemy?

This was a very good read, well paced, well plotted, and I like the people well enough to wonder what happens to them after the book ends!

This is no unicorn you’ve ever read about. The filly, called Neighbor, is not so nice and certainly not gentle. She is tethered to and often locked in a magical ring.
Reginald is a young magician from a family where magic is an everyday occurrence. Reg found the ring while digging up an old root. He came to know that Neighbor wanted to be taken to the King, so Reg took a trip to the city of Nimrock where magic is banned.
There is war, love and loss. Something to grab boys and girls alike. I think you’ll enjoy this book. I did.

It was lovely to read another story about unicorns since I write about them too. S.L. Carlson's writing is tight, to the point, and well-polished. Her characters are very real and very worthy of success. I especially liked Neighbour, the unicorn, whose name is really something like ne--ehhh-booorrr.(Something like that.) Held inside a magic ring, she jumps out when called, ready to serve her king, ready for war. I think girls and boys would like this story equally well. Looking forward to more from S.L. Carlson.
