Beneath the Skin: an innocent trip to India with an unexpected stowaway. In the Red: technology is a common escape, especially for teens, but not usually like this. Eden's Hell: The petunia isn't just another pretty face. Obsessions: you'll laugh, you'll squirm, and you'll grab a cup of blueberry Jello for dessert. False Reality: David swore he'd never be like his dad, but choices aren't always what they seem. Demon River: a simple lunch of blood-fish and Craydon Leatherworker learns the merits of local legend.

As one of the emperor's many sons, Fourteen hopes to be chosen as his father's successor despite Master Chid Den's cautions. When magic and science combine to threaten Fourteen's life, it's too late to escape. He and Den must put their trust in Mariessa, a small sixteen-year-old girl with unusual abilities. As Den holds to his secrets, Mariessa continues to distrust, and Fourteen's pride brings contention, their survival depends on learning to believe in one another. And if the emperor's fear of their success is any indication, their efforts could affect more lives than their own.

Lar has one week until the authorities take him away and charge him with treason. Aline's only hope for survival is to stay with Lar's brother, Jeraud, but it's a fruitless hope. The loving family of Lar's youth has disappeared, replaced by animosity, prejudice, and betrayal. If Lar and Aline thought surviving on a Mwalgi spaceship was impossible, now they face a planet deemed uninhabitable to humans whose authorities would see Lar dead, and a populace who would drain Aline's CSF without mercy.

Unicorns, with their single ivory horn, are elusive and magical creatures of myth. Yet even more elusive are the purple unicorns.First sighted at the Superstars Writing Seminars, their legend has grown year after year until it could only be contained in this anthology. Nineteen storytellers, including Peter S. Beagle, Todd McCaffrey, and Jody Lynn Nye, as well as new and rising authors, invite us into worlds both near and far, across a desert oasis, a pet shop, a Comic-Con exhibition floor, and more, and show us the many variations of purple unicorns, from the imaginary to the actual-and one very memorable half-unicorn, half-potato.One Horn to Rule Them All is an unforgettable collection of imagination and creativity. So, saddle up, and take a ride beyond the rainbow. All profits benefit the Superstars Writing Seminars Scholarship Fund.
