Book overview
The Unicorn Shore: The Secret of the Shell
Book One in The Unicorn Shore Series
She thought it was just a fairy tale-until the shell whispered her name.
Nine-year-old Marigold always believed Grandma Pearl's stories about magic hidden in the waves. But nothing could have prepared her for the moment she found a glowing seashell shaped like a unicorn's horn-and it whispered her name.
Swept away to the Unicorn Shore, a mysterious land where unicorns talk, waves carry secrets, and magic is everywhere, Marigold learns she's been chosen for an urgent mission.
A powerful enemy is rising from beneath the waves, and her storms are already draining the Unicorn Shore's magic. If she breaks free, the bond between their worlds will be destroyed forever-and only Marigold holds the key to stopping her.
With the help of her new unicorn friends-wise Coral, speedy Spark, and snack-obsessed Nibbles-Marigold must solve a riddle hidden in an ancient lighthouse to get the answers they need. Answers that will bring her face to face with her greatest fear.
Can Marigold find the courage to face the darkness and save her friends before the Unicorn Shore vanishes forever?
Perfect for fans of fairy tales, friendship, and magical adventures. This is a heartwarming story of courage, belonging, and the power of believing in the magic within us.
