Union

by Ben Robbins

The unicorn befriends the young mother, but penniless she is driven to betray it, leading a wealthy noble to trap the beast for a pouch of gold, a sin that grieves her until she is old and grey. But the unicorn is not so easily caught…

Her son goes forth and leads a hard life in a world that has no need of him.

But is he really so alone? We see that no, despite the betrayal of the mother, the unicorn has watched over her child from hiding, protecting him in this dangerous world. But she dies never knowing…

Union is a game of family and ancestry. You'll start by creating the end of the story, a single hero who confronts some problem facing the family or the society as a whole. Then you'll jump back and forth across the generations to see how all their ancestors' lives made the hero who they are.

About the author

Ben Robbins, a Florida native, has slightly better punctuation skills than his co-author. A writer most of his career, he is now a published author. He knows this because his name is now on the cover of a book. When not writing books, he enjoys traveling with his family, exploring the outdoors and working two jobs to pay the bills. He takes great pride in being extraordinarily humble, but of course would not want you to know that.

Born and raised on Florida's Space Coast, Ben works as a marketer and consultant in the software industry. Together with his wife Lam, he has spent many years exploring foods and customs from around the world.

Ben and Lam live in Tampa, Florida together with their two young children, Theodore and Naomi.
