The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle, with an introduction by Patrick Rothfuss, follows a solitary unicorn who discovers that creatures like her may have vanished everywhere but in her ageless forest. Disturbed by rumors that she is the last of her kind, she leaves her protected home and enters a more dangerous world shaped by mortality, human desire, and fading magic. Joined by an uncertain magician and a determined woman who refuses to be sidelined by age or convention, she travels toward a kingdom ruled by a king whose obsession has twisted both land and legend. This classic of high fantasy blends adventure, quiet humor, and melancholy as it explores identity, loss, and what it means to remain true to oneself in a changing world.
