TWO HUNDRED YEARS have passed. Tania, a servant lass, toils in the stable of the once mighty Castle Storm. An orphan, Tania has only her Grandfather Birchspring, and the tired old war horse she tends. Her life is hard and dull with drudgery.

Until Tania hears that a new Dark Lord has risen, and threatens the centuries of peace the countryside has enjoyed. It is not all she learns. "Grandfather" Birchspring can no longer contain the secret of Tania’s heritage. The tired old war horse can no longer maintain his masquerade. Together, the three cannot sit idly by while the evil force that destroyed Tania’s mother returns to finish what he once started. Ill equipped, with only great heart and noble purpose, they ride to war. BUT IT IS MORE than battle they encounter. And it is only the force of love that will endure. Love, and the unicorn’s final, precious gift ….

THE SECRET OF SHABAZ is a fast paced book that will keep you turning pages until the wee hours of the morning in order to find out what happens behind the next bend in the road.

"Though marketed as a book for teens, any one who loves fantasy, especially people who are already fans of Macaire, will love this book. It's a read I'd suggest for parents and children to share, because both will gain a lot of pleasure from the experience."
~ Gotta Write Network

"A classic story is redone in this book. Offering the same fairy tale qualities as Snow White, this book kicks it up a notch by giving us an extremely strong heroine with a mind of her own. Add to that a cocky unicorn with attitude to burn and an extremely conservative elf and you have a true masterpiece. The characters are definitely the book's strong point, with all being uniquely their own. This is truly a book to be kept at your bedside and read often!"
