Halloween night she planned to meditate with candles and read her cards around midnight. Elayne always felt strongly about Halloween. Now of all nights, her mind tells her to get some hot sudsy water and really give the Philco a thorough cleaning. To make matter worse, her boyfriend dumped her the night she threw him a birthday party. Not long after she really started giving it a good scrubbing, the lights went out and she had to use candlelight to finish purifying the refrigerator. What she discovers is a portal to a magical world of intrigue. She steps into a royal castle at Castlecrest where good Queen Tretta and barbarous King Sarrolus, who is stark raving mad, reside. If she wishes her cat returned there is a condition. If Elayne delivers a message to her cousin, Queen Airmeda of the Heatherlands, she will reverse the spell on the cat. She knows she is the only one left to put things back in their perspective order. What Elayne discovers is a land filled with friendship, griffons and something she has never had, true love.

The Romance of the Unicorn is a book that sends you on a magical tour with chivalrous men, intelligent women and extraordinary enchanting creatures. It is a fast journey that spins with a precarious excursion and amiable amusement, making you feel a part of everything. The fairy tale was incredible and the women really endured. Imagine cleaning out a refrigerator to find a pathway to a whole different world! No sooner had I started reading, I was hooked. Ms. Clay has composed an enchanting tale that will take you on a ride of your life. For a moment I thought Aladdin's magic carpet would appear, the ride was so magnificent! This tale was wonderfully written. Ms. Clay pens a story that will make you believe in fairy tales.
