Aldric and his arch-enemy Thram have less than a month to discover if other unicorns exist before the unicorn war wish is needed to protect their country from the magician Alyse and the Spikonians.

They travel further than any of their countrymen, to Amythical@ City Brandt, where they hear of a dragon who might have the answers they seek. But knowledge of the dragon's last location comes at a price: find the lost Brandt princess, or even news of her or forfeit their lives.

Aldric, Thram, and the unicorn Neighbor find the dragon, but can they get the information they need from her—both about other unicorns and the missing princess?
