I enjoyed the whimsy and imagination, but I also found the actual romance very tedious. This is a reprint of an older story and very different from her current style. Hooper weaves biblical tales and other fables into this story with the central theme of good versus evil. We have enchanting moments with the unicorn herd as Hunter acquaints himself to the various members and observes secret rituals that are only shown to a trusted few. The author makes a great play on the honorable Hunter and the evil Boran throughout the story, and so when the truth finally emerges, it’s not so much of a surprise to readers. Boran seems to be evil and conniving and seeking revenge. Unbeknownst to Hunter, Boran has also found his way to the valley in stealth with magic. Fortunately he’s nursed to health by the maiden Siri, who is the keeper of the unicorns. Dismissing the dangers and warnings, he makes his way to the mountain pass and crosses into the valley, only to nearly meet his death on arrival. Hooper delivers her version of myths and mysteries in this fantastical tale told through the adventures of Hunter, a prince of the Rubicon kingdom, who, along with his half-brother Boran, seeks to probe the mysteries of the universe in a quest to gain a throne.Īfter much adventure Hunter arrives in the Huntsman region where he learns of the Reaper, a mountain that protects the valley of unicorns.
