The Land at the Edge of Things

About the Book

An outing to catch lightning bugs lead to a brother and sister bargaining with the tiny insects for a glimpse into the Land at the Edge of Things. A place where a herd of unicorns protect all our childhood myths and magical creatures. Not the kind of unicorn you are thinking of—not the cute, cuddly unicorns in the cartoons and books—but a strong and powerful herd of unicorns who battle a ferocious pack of wolves to keep the things that are supposed to be secret. Twins lead the herd, brother and sister; and the herd does not only protect the Land at the Edge of Things, they heal it. A human intruder forms a pact with the wolves to trap the unicorn, and one of the twins must make the ultimate sacrifice to protect the herd. The Land at the Edge of Things is a story about family, faith, and the power of love.
