You can see it everywhere... in buildings. . .transportation...communications. . .medicines and even in the food you eat! Cool! Hunh? All technology and everything that makes life modern come from the magical elements in the earth, water and the air. Think of it like this, "No Metal - No Magic...and No Tech-no-lo-gy."

Facing extinction, the Metal-Horned Unicorns of MarBryn are desperate for hope. Any hope. . .So when the Oracle reveals the prophecy promising just that, the remaining members of the tribe pin their future on the birth of a young foal.

Magh's rule proves both harsh and brutal and by the time Blue comes of age there are only twelve metal-horns left in all of MarBryn. Eleven can claim some form of metal based magic. . .but one must get by on sheer grit, will, and the desire to avenge his parents untimely deaths. Like most of the metal-horns, Blue disregards the prophecy as nonsense, but driven by his insecurities, he covertly trains for a fight he's ill-equipped to win.And then hope comes back around.
