I read it. It belongs here and not in the Romance forums. That is, it has a small romantic component, but it's a genre book through and through which might turn off someone expecting a mainstream romance novel.

The Way Home: Two Novellas from the World of The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle is $2 on Amazon.com
Contains two novellas/ettes: Two Hearts, and Sooz. I read and enjoyed the first one.

The Last Unicorn is one of fantasy’s most revered classics, beloved by generations of readers and with millions of copies in print. Revisiting the world of that novel, Beagle’s long-awaited Hugo and Nebula-Awards-winning “Two Hearts” introduced the irrepressible Sooz on a quest to save her village from a griffin, and explored the bonds she formed with unforgettable characters like the wise and wonderful Molly Grue and Schmendrick the Magician.

In the never-before-published “Sooz,” the events of “Two Hearts” are years behind its narrator, but a perilous journey lies ahead of her, in a story that is at once a tender meditation on love and loss, and a lesson in finding your true self.

The Way Home is suffused with Beagle’s wisdom, profound lyricism, and sly wit; and collects two timeless works of fantasy.

Thanks! Pity Kobo's listing isn't on sale. I'll have to decide if I want to grab it from Amazon or not.

Beagle has a new book out, too.

Earth by David Brin is $2 at Amazon, B&N and Kobo US.

In this classic hard science fiction-thriller by the New York Times–bestselling author of Startide Rising, a man-made black hole threatens the future of Earth.

Scientist Alex Lustig has created a tiny, yet very destructive, problem—a microscopic black hole that he accidentally dropped into Earth’s core. Now, racing to keep it from consuming the planet, he begins to suspect something even stranger is going on. Something linked to civilization’s expanding information web.

And with the planet overpopulated and neglect taking its toll on the environment, there are those who demand a harsh solution: that Mother Earth would be better off without humanity at all . . .

Which the old partner/publisher that was sued for elder abuse is now going around claiming is mostly written by him. (He's reaching out to youtubers who review it, and got the UK publication pulled.)
