Paperback. With full-color illustrations! "Dubh is a writer of great imagination." (Kirkus Reviews) "The book's intense world-building is worth the price of admission." (Kirkus Reviews) "A sprawling, linguistically playful dystopian novel." (Kirkus Reviews) To save the planet, they must risk the one thing left alive truly alive -- each other. On the last green highland of the world, the Wayp, Rona guards a living forest bound to the Mother. Far below in the scorched DownBlow, Cuilean fights as a gladiator to survive the Monstrato Corps and their PieceTakers. They were children together once -- friends, then rivals, then lost to one another -- until fate and prophecy pull their paths tight again.When Monstrato's newest onslaught threatens the Wayp, Rona must ride Dileas, her enchanting unihorn, into forbidden territories where love is a weakness and loyalty is a weapon. Cuilean, the boy she remembers and the warrior he has become, stands between her and the storms to come. Together they face saber-tooth horrors and the bull-monster mineotarbh, outwit corporate hunters, and uncover the long-buried vows that bind their hearts as surely as the forest binds its roots.This is a story of yearning in a dying world -- a slow-burn, friends-to-enemies-to-lovers arc set against epic adventure. As Rona and Cuilean fight to save the Wayp from the ruin left by the Great Melt, their bond deepens from shared danger into a fierce, fate-marked love. Magic hums in leaf and horn, steel rings in the arenas of the DownBlow, and every choice tests whether passion can thrive where empires plunder and hope grows thin.The Girl Who Rode the Unihorn is romantasy with thorns and starlight -- an adventure of prophecy and peril, where a guardian of the forest and a branded champion risk everything to heal a broken earth and claim the one thing the corps can never own: each other.For romantasy readers who loveFriends to enemies to loversGuardian x gladiatorSlow-burn yearning with high-stakes adventureSacred nature magic and a mythical mountFound family among the Children of the MotherCorporate empire vs. prophecy and fate This item is printed on demand.

"The book's intense world-building is worth the price of admission." (Kirkus Reviews)
"A sprawling, linguistically playful dystopian novel." (Kirkus Reviews)
To save the planet, they must risk the one thing left alive truly alive -- each other.
On the last green highland of the world, the Wayp, Ròna guards a living forest bound to the Mother. Far below in the scorched DownBlow, Cuilean fights as a gladiator to survive the Monstrato Corps and their PieceTakers. They were children together once -- friends, then rivals, then lost to one another -- until fate and prophecy pull their paths tight again.
When Monstrato's newest onslaught threatens the Wayp, Ròna must ride Dìleas, her enchanting unihorn, into forbidden territories where love is a weakness and loyalty is a weapon. Cuilean, the boy she remembers and the warrior he has become, stands between her and the storms to come. Together they face saber-tooth horrors and the bull-monster mìneotarbh, outwit corporate hunters, and uncover the long-buried vows that bind their hearts as surely as the forest binds its roots.
This is a story of yearning in a dying world -- a slow-burn, friends-to-enemies-to-lovers arc set against epic adventure. As Ròna and Cuilean fight to save the Wayp from the ruin left by the Great Melt, their bond deepens from shared danger into a fierce, fate-marked love. Magic hums in leaf and horn, steel rings in the arenas of the DownBlow, and every choice tests whether passion can thrive where empires plunder and hope grows thin.
The Girl Who Rode the Unihorn is romantasy with thorns and starlight -- an adventure of prophecy and peril, where a guardian of the forest and a branded champion risk everything to heal a broken earth and claim the one thing the corps can never own: each other.

About the Author
mìcheal dubh lives a hermit's life in a small cabin near the mountain village of Balnabane with his son and a blue-eyed wolf-dog. His idea of fun is to sit with his dog in quiet solitude, listening to birdsong, remembering, reflecting on, sometimes smiling about, and sometimes regretting his wild and misspent youth. He feels deeply and passionately about the fate of the natural world in the face of environmental degradation, and he enjoys all forms of stories -- which tell the truth of who we have been, who we are, and who we will be.
