Unicorn for Western Audiences

Driven out from the magical kingdom of The Realm and into the dying desert of the Sands beyond, Marshal Clint Gulliver and his unicorn Edward have finally found solace in the small and dusty town of Solace. For the first time since leaving The Realm, Clint has allowed himself to be happy, preparing to wed his bride, Mai. However, as the town faces a deadly approaching enemy, the gunslinger feels compelled to unholster his seven-shooters to confront it and the dark magic it brings.

This reinvention of both the western genre and unicorn lore comes from the creators of Yesterday's Gone (Platt) and Fat Vampire (Truant). Written for children and teens, yet complex and captivating enough for adult readers, Unicorn Western has been described as "Harry Potter without wizards, with gunslingers, with talking unicorns and epic unicorn fights, and with more turkey pie."
