Two journeys in the world of The Last Unicorn

This collection brings together two novellas connected by Sooz and the world of The Last Unicorn. In “Two Hearts,” Sooz sets out to save her village from a griffin and encounters Molly Grue and Schmendrick the Magician. “Sooz” looks back on those events from years later, as its narrator faces another perilous journey. Together, the stories pair fantasy adventure with questions of love, loss, and discovering one’s sense of self, while revisiting characters and a setting familiar from Beagle’s earlier novel.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers familiar with The Last Unicorn who want to revisit its world and characters.
  • Fantasy readers interested in novellas featuring mythical creatures and linked journeys.
  • Readers looking for stories that engage with love, loss, and self-discovery.

Book overview

Renowned author Peter S. Beagle returns to the world of The Last Unicorn in this resonant and moving two-novella collection, featuring the award-winning "Two Hearts" and the brand-new "Sooz."

The Last Unicorn is one of fantasy's most revered classics, beloved by generations of readers and with millions of copies in print. Revisiting the world of that novel, Beagle's long-awaited Hugo and Nebula-Awards-winning "Two Hearts" introduced the irrepressible Sooz on a quest to save her village from a griffin, and explored the bonds she formed with unforgettable characters like the wise and wonderful Molly Grue and Schmendrick the Magician.

In the never-before-published "Sooz," the events of "Two Hearts" are years behind its narrator, but a perilous journey lies ahead of her, in a story that is at once a tender meditation on love and loss, and a lesson in finding your true self.

The Way Home is suffused with Beagle's wisdom, profound lyricism, and sly wit; and collects two timeless works of fantasy.
