After the strange events on his birthday, Benjamin Baxter finds his magic growing at an alarming rate. With the surge, the dark energy within him becomes even harder to control.
Putting his recent struggles behind him, Ben takes his school faire winnings to the local Samhain festival to unwind.
To his surprise, he makes new friends, gains new enemies, and gets way more than he bargained for.
Technomacy shortcuts the decades of drudgery it takes to master the arcane. Neophytes can cast fireballs, and summon monsters with the tap of an icon.
A young technomancer, awakens to a world once beyond his awareness to find the very foundation on which he learned magic slipping away.
Now he struggles to survive in this new Las Vegas — a city ran by incensed traditionalist and murderous monsters.
With cover art by James A. Owen, within are stories by Peter S. Beagle, Todd McCaffrey, and seventeen other talented authors (including yours truly).
From the back cover: Unicorns, with their single ivory horn, are elusive and magical creatures of myth… First sighted at the Superstars Writing Seminar, their legend has grown year after year until it could only be contained in this anthology. Nineteen storytellers… invite us into worlds both near and far… One Horn to Rule Them All is an unforgettable collection of imagination and creativity. So, saddle up, and take a ride beyond the rainbow. All profits benefit the Superstars Writing Seminar Scholarship Fund*.
