Goodreads asked Richard Gradner:

What are you currently working on?

Richard Gradner I have just finished writing my second novel, Unicorn, that is set for release on 01 September 2016:

The year is 2518 BCE. Halim, a Shakti warrior initiate, lives with his family in Harappa, a fortified city in the Indus River Valley. His father is injured, so the task falls to Halim to find a cure for his mother, who has fallen prey to a mysterious, debilitating disease.

Sanjit, a seasoned Shakti, agrees to accompany Halim to the Kunlun Mountains in search of a mythical medicine from an ancient monastery. Halim’s impulsive sister, Taja, insists on joining them too.

When the three travellers confront the Ignogai, a barbaric tribe with a bloodthirsty shaman, they must flee across hazardous and unfamiliar terrain to avoid being captured and persecuted for their Shakti prana.

With a little bit of magic, determination, and some help from a few extraordinary people, the trio must fight for their lives to make it back home in time to save Halim's mother from certain demise.
