Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday - Unicorn Keep by Angelia Almos

Unicorn Keep by Angelia Almos

Unicorn Keep is my new young adult fantasy about Jiline who switches places with her best friend, Madelen, to become a unicorn keeper. It should be coming out in May if production stays on target with no major disasters.

Daniah went through the rest of the line until she reached Madelen.

The crystal glowed. Her hand ached from Madelen’s iron grip.

“What is your name child?” Daniah demanded when Madelen didn’t offer it right away.

“Madelen,” she whispered.

Daniah stepped back. More whispers and writing on the parchment. The crystal did not glow for Jiline. An odd sort of deflation filled her.

  5. Something tells me Jiline isn't going to take this odd sort of deflation sitting down. I get the feeling Madelen needs to watch her back! :) Great snippet.

  6. I love the conflict here. Nice snippet! I'm guessing Madelen has something else that she'd like to make a priority?

  11. Thank you everyone for stopping by and for your comments. Unicorn Keep was a fun book to write since it was one that took off with a life of its own.
