The Pursuit of the Unicorn

Venice/Silk Route 1447
Barnabas and Alys have returned to Venice from Africa to find that Alessandra, the former courtesan, has vanished with their young daughter, Eleanor. Thwarted in his efforts to scry and unearth information, Barnabas pursues what Alys feels is a fool's path to get Eleanor back. They each go their separate ways and cross continents and emotional distances, each struggling to keep their hope and soul intact.

Brimming with drama and rich detail, The Pursuit of the Unicorn is a vivid and tensely plotted historical page turner.
