The first book in the Acorna series. Acorna is found be a group of traders, who adopt the strange little girl with a horn. But she has the ability to change the worlds around her.

I read this when I was a lot younger, but although I loved it then, I never read the rest of the books in the series. Now a bit older, and with all the books in my possession, I thought I'd give it a go. I kind of liked it, but there seems a lot going on and sometimes I just wanted to pause the author for a moment. There isn't a huge amount of character development, but is a lot of action, which at least makes the book a fast read. I did like the idea that our myths of unicorns are based on some alien race visiting in the past (not that that's been done before!), and it will be interesting to see where it goes from here.
