Eira
by Peter Daniel James
Eira is a unicorn — ancient, powerful, and completely alone. Something was taken from her a long time ago, and she's learned that the safest thing is to need no one. Kelda is a stubborn girl who finds her beside a dying spring and does the only thing she knows how to do: she keeps showing up. Not because she's chosen. Not because she's special. She just stays — the way love does when it's the real kind, the kind that costs something and gives itself freely anyway. What begins to happen between them is something neither of them expected. Something ancient stirs. And it suggests that glory was never meant to be carried alone — that the deepest power flows not through strength, but through persons who give themselves to each other. But a journey to the edge of the world will test whether that's actually true. And the hardest question won't come from the danger ahead — it will come from someone who loves beautiful things so much she'd rather freeze them than watch them break.
