Emergence - Book One of the Alicorn Quest

In a bygone age, India's forests whispered tales of unicorns. The magic nestled within their spiralled horns was legendary, with villagers weaving tales of its mesmerizing properties. But these stories also painted targets on the creatures. Driven by greed, hunters came in droves, seeking the power in those horns. With every stolen horn, they boasted their conquests, leaving a trail of slain unicorns and bystanders in their wake. Darkness soon descended upon the forest, and the once-celebrated unicorns faded into myths. Yet hope endured through ancient prophecies predicting the unicorns' return. Symbols of their resurgence - a golden seven-pointed star and a bangle adorned with horse and unicorn carvings - were foretold to re-emerge. And in November 1861, these artifacts surfaced from the ocean's depths, heralding the start of The Alicorn Quest. This epic journey follows a young Indian adventurer's quest to an unfamiliar Oregon, where destiny awaits in the form of a unique colt. As adversaries thwart his path, this colt, unaware of his future, grazes in Oregon's
In 1884, a wealthy Montana Cattle Baron watches as a predator of unknown origin starts decimating his herd. However, the killings, while savage in nature don't correspond with any known assailant. When the clandestine entity raises the ante by targeting and killing ranch hands, the ranch owner can no longer stand by idly. Three men with diametrically different dispositions are destined by fate to join forces to track down, capture or kill the rampaging killer. Included amongst the intrepid threesome are Marshal Sam McCord, who is heading the expedition, a brave but flawed individual plagued by past demons. Bauman, a taciturn trapper, and social outcast who inadvertently sets the wheels in motion. The final member of the trio and its most well-known participant is a young Theodore Roosevelt, the future 26th president of the United States. The search for the perpetrator takes the three men on an arduous and perilous pilgrimage. They eventually arrive at the designed destination only to find Bauman's base camp destroyed. Quickly, they ascertain that the perpetrator initially believed to be an animal may be something else entirely. It's watching, evaluating, but worst of all, it appears to be toying with them. Showing remarkable restraint, the bloodthirsty menace seems content coordinating a lethal game of a cat and mouse. It isn't long before Roosevelt and his compadres find themselves the hunted. Can they kill the fiend responsible, or will they succumb to the same fate as the cattle? Incident at Devil's Drop details a gripping alternative historical account related by Theodore Roosevelt. It's a rousing tale of bravery and sacrifice in its depiction of a bizarre and lethal encounter inside the Bitterroot Mountains.
