Azaria, a unicorn, is born right before a time of great change. He and his father befriend Darius, a dinosaur who is also a Seer. Darius predicts the coming of planetary disaster, but not when or how. The time of change arrives in the form of a meteor, which brings climactic anomalies that nearly destroy the unicorns. The storms do destroy most of the dinosaurs, only Darius is left alive. There is also another change with the meteor, the ones who walk on two legs, humans relocate to an area where the unicorns have always had sanctuary. One of these humans, Ishmael, proves to be a major problem for Azaria and his herd. Their mettle is tested to its limits, with some of the magical creatures giving in to very human emotions. Can they survive?Suzanne di Montigny weaves a magical tale for children from seven to twelve years of age. The plight of the unicorns, what they endure, is a thing some children face daily, although not in the same manner. Yet, she manages to keep the story on an entertaining level. Di Montigny stretches her writing muscles to delight young readers, and their parents who should share this story, and keep them coming back for more.
