Paperback – Jody The Metal Horn Unicorn With Iodine Magic: Element 53 — Magical Elementals Chemistry Fantasy

Meet Jody: a periwinkle-blue alicorn with a spiraling violet horn, rose-pink wings, and an ego exactly as big as his heart. He’s the only unicorn in the magical world of MarBryn whose powers come from iodine — real chemistry transformed into real magic — and he’s not shy about telling you so. When a harbor town’s kelp reefs turn grey and bitter overnight, Jody and his lifelong friend Argenta, a silver-horned flying unicorn, launch a soaring, high-stakes adventure across MarBryn to find out who — or what — is poisoning the world’s water on purpose.
This chemistry-themed action-adventure science-fiction fantasy takes readers from invisible starship-cities hidden on grassy hillsides to salt caverns, coastal bazaars, dying kelp forests, and mountain forge cities, all built on MarBryn’s founding belief: no metal, no magic. Along the way, Jody gathers an unforgettable band of companions — a fearless engineer with no magic of her own, a magnesium-wielding flare mage with a wicked sense of humor, and a small, sparking copper fox — each bringing a different skill, a different element, and a different reason to fight for a world worth saving. Together they face a lead-obsessed alchemist determined to hoard all of MarBryn’s magic for himself, building toward a full-scale battle with weapons, real danger, and a hero who gets hurt but never gives up.
Grounded in genuine iodine chemistry — sublimation, antiseptic healing, oxidation, water purification, and its essential role in every living body — this middle-grade and family-friendly fantasy blends real science with imaginative world-building, witty and warm dialogue, plenty of humor, and a message that resonates well beyond the page: the quiet, essential things matter more than the loudest ones. Perfect for young readers who love unicorns, magic, chemistry, adventure stories, and found-family companions, Jody’s tale is a complete, standalone adventure with a fully satisfying ending — no cliffhangers.
Fans of elemental magic, science-based fantasy, and lovable, larger-than-life heroes will find a new favorite in Jody: brilliant, brave, dramatic, and unmistakably himself.
