Description
On Christmas Day, Connie Chase opens the twenty-fifth door on her advent calendar, eating the last chocolate as she tries to swallow the memory of her former love, Viggo MacDuff. His dazzling green eyes are everywhere; from the Christmas tree to the promise of eternal love in a sprig of mistletoe, Connie sees only her hopeless gaze reflected back at her, trapped inside an all-too-shiny bauble. When she finds that even Christmas festivities can't erase the pain of her first heartbreak, she begins to tell her love story to her best friend Jed.
Unwrapping each piece as they go on adventures together, Connie realises how she let her internal struggles control her, accepting behaviour that she believed she deserved. Connie explores both friendships and romantic relationships, discovering the strength of her voice and the power of her individuality as she reveals her most vulnerable self.

Person
Kate Gordon spent 90% of her childhood reading books about ponies or magical adventures. The other 10% she spent galloping around the garden on an imaginary horse - until she was able to ride a real pony of her own.
Now she's penning fantastical adventure stories about brave friends, ponies and unicorns.
Kate is inspired by the magical mountains of Central Otago in New Zealand's South Island where she lives with her husband, three dogs, and two cats. She's currently working on the second book in the Unicorn King series called Sasha and the Warrior Unicorn.
Visit Kate's website, www.kategordonauthor.com, to find out when the next Unicorn King book will be available. You can also sign up for Kate's sporadic newsletters where she talks about her writing, characters in her books and shares other middle grade fantasy and horse books that readers may enjoy. By return email you will receive links to download, free, three beautiful illustrations of Ambrosius, the unicorn king, and his unicorn friends.
