This is not the kind of romance novel i go for but i decided to take a chance and it was actually good and bought it base on the reveiws and back them up by saying for this kind of romance its good....

without myth, civilizations die

Within the archetypal themes of quests, immutable rules and the inner quest of each of us for purpose, Hooper weaves a tale of fantasy and philosophy. Hunter is pitted against his half-brother to prove the existence of unicorns, with the winner becoming the ruler of their planet's kingdom. The Keeper of the unicorns is a creature of legends herself. She helps Hunter to realize the importance of delving into myth and the impact it has on both our inner life and our roles in a society. While this plot may sound very "fluffy," the tale unfolds with characters gaining insights into their own motivations and beliefs. For any readers of the philosophy of Thomas Moore (The Reenchangment of Everyday Life, Care of the Soul), it rings as a parable for personal reflection as much as a wonderful fantasy read. I know the author planned a sequel. Let us all hope she turns back to her fantasy roots and gives us the fulfillment of the prophecies from Summer.

Great Book

I bought this book about 10 years ago... Kept it ever since.. Been waiting for a sequel for the longest time..The book is unique and different kinda remind you of a whole new world to be at then the realty we are in lol........Read the book.. Believe you would want a continue on that story very much..

A Sequel is a MUST!

This book is just magical. I owned it about ten years ago and lost the copy. I looked for a copy and luckily I got one. I would love to read a sequel to this great book! It has all the right ingredients to a truly great love quest. I particularly liked the woman in this book because she is not only beautiful but she is also strong, loyal and courageous. This book has unicorns, dragons, mermaids, etc. It really is quite fascinating. I would also love to see this made into a movie just like Legend.

One of the best fantasy romances ever written

I read many great authors. This book has always held a special place in my memories. I wish she would write a sequel.
