One of my favorite adventure novels of all time.” —Cory Doctorow\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e At four-thirty one Saturday afternoon the laws of physics as we know them underwent a change. Electronic devices, cars, industries stopped. The lights went out. Any technology more complicated than a lever or pulley simply wouldn't work. A new set of rules took its place—laws that could only be called magic. Ninety-nine percent of humanity has simply vanished. Cities lie abandoned. Supernatural creatures wander the silenced achievements of a halted civilization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Pete Garey has survived the Change and its ensuing chaos. He wanders the southeastern United States, scavenging, lying low. Learning. One day he makes an unexpected friend: a smartassed unicorn with serious attitude. Pete names her Ariel and teaches her how to talk, how to read, and how to survive in a world in which a unicorn horn has become a highly prized commodity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When they learn that there is a price quite literally on Ariel's head, the two unlikely companions set out from Atlanta to Manhattan to confront the sorcerer who wants her horn. And so begins a haunting, epic, and surprisingly funny journey through the remnants of a halted civilization in a desolated world. ","brand":"Open Road Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47142858850544,"sku":"9781497612228","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781497612228_p0.jpg?v=1769895904","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781497612228","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
