'So ya want ta know the story of Mark Kurrian too? Well, ya not be the first, nor will ya be the last I suppose, to have asked about Mark Kurrian...' Max Garrett always knew there was something strange about Mark Kurrian, something very special. Perhaps it was Max alone who noticed Kurrian's most puzzling traits, but indeed there was something extraordinary. And when Max's mother is on her deathbed, Mark Kurrian soon becomes much more than just a friend. Kurrian becomes a guide, leading Max on a remarkable quest into the land of Serenium. There they seek a unicorn horn that alone can heal Max's mother. Yet their task will not be easy, as the wicked ruler, Kedron Lorcan, has two of the three remaining unicorns held captive. As they enter Serenium, Kurrian quickly realizes the land is not as he left it. Lorcan, having won the Dark Wars, has everyone now living in fear. With no one daring to help them, they are forced to seek the aid of the notorious, outcast pirate, Peg-Leg Bill. But their journey becomes more terrifying and adventurous with each step as they battle a host of Serenium's hideous beasts and creatures of the land and seas. Leprechauns, Unicorns, and Mark Kurrian by Curtis Cornell is fashioned in the style of many classic fairy tales, taking the reader into a new and exciting land of mystery, heroics, suspense, and wonder. Enter into the world of Serenium. Enter into the world of Mark Kurrian.
