Well of the Unicorn

By Fletcher Pratt

Book Overview

Robbed of lands and heritage by the rapacious Vulkings, young Airar Alvarson had only his limited gift for sorcery to aid him against a world of savage intrigues. Then he met a mysterious sorcerer and was given a strange iron ring -- a ring that led him into a futile conspiracy and soon had him fleeing for his life.

Driven by enchantments and destiny, he found himself leading a band of warriors against the mighty empire of the Vulkings. With him was a warrior maid who mocked him while she sought to serve by fair means or foul. Then he met the Imperial Princess who preached the peace of the Well but it soon became apparent she would bring him only turmoil and strife!

Wonderful Fantasy

I may be optimistic, but even for me this book stood out in it's greatness. An unforgettable treat!

Please -- Reprint This!

I read this book ages ago and fondly recall it as a really good piece of adventure/fantasy, and one written by a historian well capable of handling its military theme. It deserves reprinting and revival by a major publisher. If you can find it in your library, or anywhere, get it. It's good.
