The first two books exist in all three formats. The third book is available in print and audio, but not as an e-book. The fourth book of the series is completely out of print and has no e-book currently available, though it does exist as an audiobook, which reviewers generally agree was very poorly made, with hammy voice acting that disrupts immersion and willing suspension of disbelief. The primary challenges of the series are Cara's quest to be reunited with her missing mother, and the unified purpose of Cara's allies to end the millennia-long apocalyptic war of attrition between the unicorns and their ancient enemy, an immortal woman named Beloved. The protagonist, Cara, is a preteen girl whose family has complex connections on both sides of the divide between Earth and Luster: her father is a hunter of unicorns, and her maternal grandmother is revealed in the second book to be the heir to the hereditary monarchy of Luster's unicorns, living in disguise as a human on Earth. They are chiefly set in a fictional parallel world called Luster, where unicorns, dragons, centaurs, gryphons, and dwarves fled from Earth, both to escape being hunted to extinction by humans, and to follow the magic which was fading out of the world. The Unicorn Chronicles is a high fantasy series of four children's novels published over sixteen years by American author Bruce Coville.
