Book Review By Ganya
Unicorns in the Mist by Kayla West

A prince is finally born to the Lord and Lady of Anna-re Harbor. The kingdom is fair, and his life luxurious, but he doesn't fit in with all the fancy nobles prancing around. His parents never loved him, using him just as a game piece to follow after them, and he finds himself wishing for more.

At the same time, a girl is raised among unicorns after being abandoned by her parents on a river bank. She must grow and take on the magical powers that unicorns recieve on coming of age, and find a way to save her adopted people from their doom at the hands of elves and humans, or "two legged".
