Me and killer unicorns, we go way back. The first time I heard of their existence it was like finding that missing piece that completes you into a whole being. It filled the empty little place in my heart. And still now, I can't get enough.
Errant is a short story of about 30 pages, set in historical France. Gitta, a unicorn hunter trained in Rome, is summoned to help in a symbolic unicorn hunt. But there is more magic hiding in this estate than she expected...
I loved how in this tiny short story, Ms Peterfreund manages to insert several plot twists, character development and a teasing insight into the world of unicorn hunters. The story stands completely on its own, making it accessible for both die-hard fans and the relatively ignorant.
When I wrote this review, this novelette was still available for free. Read more about this offer on Diana Peterfreund's blog. Go read it, NOW!

Yay! I love the series so much, so I'm really happy to hear the novelette is good too. I really, really hope she publishes a third book (how can it just end like that?!)
I love your opening paragraph, btw :)
@ Small Review; I know right?! I read on her blog that she's planning to write a third book, but there is no deal with the publisher yet. I sooo can't wait to find out what happens with Astrid next!
Thanks (: Glad you like it!
