In The Unicorn Quest, Claire and Sophie discovered the magical land of Arden by climbing through a chimney and emerging out of a well. They learned that unicorns, which used to live in Arden, had been hunted almost to extinction by evil Queen Estelle. They found out they were heirs to the last King of Arden, and that their blood could awaken the remaining unicorns. Through trials and tribulations, they freed a unicorn from its stone prison, and it healed Sophie from a rare and deadly disease.

Now trying to find the unicorn, they travel to Stonehaven, hoping to find the secret to releasing a unicorn using a moon tear. There Claire learns she is a Gemmer, but Sophie despairs of ever mastering any magical abilities. Their welcome to Stonehaven is tepid at best, and they soon stumble upon a plot to unleash war on all guilds so Queen Estelle, who has also returned at the same time as the unicorn, can claim the throne.

A devastating betrayal will shake the sisters to their core, and with the attacks from the Wraiths increasing, and armies on the move, Sophie and Claire will find that tracking a unicorn can be deadly business!
