Description
A woman's exposure to Greek mysticism leads to her discovery of unicorns within the Vallombrosa forest of Medieval Tuscany. Stagnation threatens to destroy the meek while faith is used to ravage what is good. Some look to the earliest writings to search for new answers. When anything is possible, nothing can stay the same. Although apathy and savagery lay dense within the defensive walls of the famous city, the rebirth of Florence must prevail. What power can be the catalyst to weaken oppression and awaken minds? Rosalinda lives through the Great Death as a child and enters womanhood at the dawn of the Renaissance. The daughter of a wealthy guildsman, a nuovi ricchi, she is accepted by the violent acrimonious grandi and popolani grassi classes, while the poor popolani and rustics of the countryside are disdained. But the unicorns have been listening to prayers and are arriving to Tuscany. In the Vallombrosa Forest, Rosalinda enters Plato's realm of pure ideas and ideal creatures. There she is chosen by a unicorn to share its form and bring about the humanism that the world is ready for. With her eyes that see past shadows, she can overcome those opposed to change. And the horn of the unicorn always reigns.
