This short story is somewhere between a fairy tale and a horror story, with inexplicable magic and an ending that's anything but happy. It's also pretty triggery if you're sensitive about sexual abuse, but if you can get past that it's worth reading for Hogath's usual lyrical style. With those caveats I consider it worth the price.

A short and magnificently dark romance by Micah Hogarth, centered on a very tragic interpretation of the unicorn myth. I'm typically not a fan of romantic stories, but this is different, both for the depth of the world she shows us and for the very, very tragic ending. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who wants a new take on the legend of the unicorn.
