I really liked the story, however it was a difficult read.

The writing style made it unclear what was being said at points, but what was even more annoying is that the text apparently had not been proof read very well. There were multiple instances where the wrong word was used. For instance the word "where" was used when it was obvious that the word "what" should have been used etc.

However the story kept me going and it was worth it.
I do have the 1st print of this book so maybe in subsequent printings the text was proofed better and corrected.

Anyway I would recommend this to anyone who loves Wizards and Magic.

As long as you can get past some of the above mentioned annoyances. For me the story was good enough to keep me hooked in spite of obstacles. (

Book description

The Kingdoms of Magic lay shattered beneath the foul machines and poisoned air of Outland invaders. But a prophecy uttered by a tranced Princess set two young champions - the giant apprentice Mage Jarrod, and the Lady Marianna - on a strange and desperate quest, a last chance to save the empire of Strand.

From the college of Magic to a void beyond time and space; through gale torn seas and barren ice-clad peaks; past slavers, ritual child-killers, and the High Thrall of the Dead...in a world of weird creatures - fevertrees, talking bumblebirds, flying cloudsteeds, huge, savage warcats - Jarrod and Marianna had to find the one creature that could save the Strand...the rarest creature of all.

A beast that didn't exist.

The unicorn...

And that was the easy part.
