The Unicorn Shore: Eclipse's Secret
Book Two in The Unicorn Shore Series
Eclipse has vanished-and he took a dangerous secret with him.
When nine-year-old Marigold returns to the magical Unicorn Shore, she discovers that her friend Eclipse, Leader of the Pegasus Clan, has mysteriously vanished. All that remains is a strange letter and an enchanted map covered in glowing symbols. With her unicorn friends Coral, Spark, Nibbles, and little Rose, Marigold sets off on a daring quest through the Lost Mountains to find him.
The map leads them to a forgotten land at the edge of the known realm, where they encounter strange creatures and discover the truth about Eclipse's past. But what they learn puts them all in terrible danger-an unknown enemy using Shadow Magic will stop at nothing to keep this secret hidden.
As the rescue mission grows more dangerous, Marigold and her friends realize that unicorn magic alone isn't enough. To have any hope of saving Eclipse, they must find the courage to trust each other and work together, even when the path ahead feels impossible.
Can they find Eclipse before it's too late? And will he have the strength to face his past and embrace his true destiny?
Perfect for fans of fairy tales, friendship, and magical adventures. This is a heartwarming story of courage, belonging, sisterhood, and the power of believing in the magic within us.
