The last unicorns are under threat from the Terrons, who believe their horns have magic properties.

The Sorceress makes a deal with Balcifer in order to return her love, Sharak, to his human form. But of course, this puts Dar's quest at risk.

Dar finds himself attracted to Zuraya, an animal trainer, who has been cursed by the Ancient One. This distracts him from Baha's attempt to kill Dar's tiger friend.

The sorceress has been abducted by the Black Apparition, so the Ancient One returns Sharak to his human form so he can help Dar in the rescue mission.

There is dissention amongst the Terron ranks when Qord discovers some Terrons have been capturing slaves. Dar has to once again rescue Kyra.

Forest birds suddenly, inexplicably, become human, forcing Dar to again right an imbalance of nature.
