Forerunner

"That evil now comes near to overflowing its bounds."
Allabva stood, staring at Hronomon. This was what he wanted to talk about? Was this real?
"What do you mean, overflow its bounds?" Allabva asked.
"Perhaps you saw the sky split open last night?" Hronomon said.
Allabva shared a look with Mother, then both nodded, faces pale.
"And a few months ago," Mother said. "What does that have to do with this?"
"Those are cracks in the prison. More will come in the next months. We must prepare, be ready to stop it. When the evil bursts its prison, all the world will feel it."

-------------------------------------

Allabva is content with a quiet life, tending her mother's orchard and nurturing a budding romance. Though legends of the Nightshade Unicorn, a frightful beast, echo in the shadows, Allabva pays them no heed. Unicorns—Nomord—are peaceful, lighthearted, and all female.

Until a male Nomord, the Forerunner, singles her out, summoning her on an urgent mission to aid the great Shrongelin—another being from legend—and save the world from an impossible, evil menace.

Now, she races against time and faces the realization that what she didn't know can hurt her—and threaten the entire world.
