Vet school students go to the Crossroads, where they treat unicorns and other magical creatures (and get caught up in an invasion of the place by the murderous Morgan).

What a painfully enjoyable book. Almost every charchter finally matures to intellectual adulthood in this third complement of O'Donohoe's Crossroads.

Another wonderful book! I especially was fond of the ethical quandry of Fiona and King Brandal/Owen's inner struggle of love vs. duty.
