About this ebook
Sawbones, a wandering veterinarian, is forced into the service of the queen. They must use their knowledge of goat diseases to cure her sick unicorn- or it's off with their head. Can they discover what's wrong- and can they save the Queen's pet from Her Majesty?
The Unicorn's Beard is a humourous fantasy short story featuring an autistic, nonbinary protagonist who is not getting paid enough for this nonsense.
