Series: The First Unicorn

Based on the award-winning picture book The First Unicorn, this novel invites readers back to the beloved world of Wonder Island for a deeper and more powerful journey of faith, sacrifice, and divine calling.

In a land where wild horses live only for themselves, young Aden is different. Gentle where others are proud, compassionate where others turn away, he cannot ignore those in need.

When an angel sent by God gives Aden a golden horn, the miracle meant to reveal his purpose instead makes him as an outcast.

Rejected and banished from the herd, Aden is forced to leave behind the only home he has ever known. Alone and afraid, he must choose whether to surrender to fear or trust the path God has placed before him.

As Aden journeys toward his destiny as the First Unicorn, he discovers that true faith is not proven through comfort, but through courage, sacrifice, and love in the face of rejection.

A heartfelt Christian allegory inspired by scripture and written as a parable parallel to the life of Jesus, The First Unicorn: Miracle on Wonder Island is a powerful fantasy for believers of all ages about kindness, calling, and the cost of becoming who God created you to be.

Sometimes being different is not the burden.

Sometimes it is the blessing.

Kindness is a gift. Faith makes it powerful. The First Unicorn didn't just appear - he was chosen. Believe in Miracles. Become one. Sometimes being different is exactly the point.
