Paperback – Nix The Metal Horn Unicorn With Nickel Magic: Element 28 — Magical Elementals Chemistry Fantasy

Discover the magic of Element 28 in this chemistry-themed action-adventure fantasy perfect for middle grade and young adult readers who love science, world-building, and unforgettable characters.

When Nix — a bold, quick-witted nickel horn unicorn stranded with his Metal Horn Tribe on the magical planet of MarBryn — senses someone in danger, he sets off on a mission that quickly becomes something far bigger than a rescue. Armed with his extraordinary Nickel Magic — magnetic mastery, thermal endurance, electrical conductivity, catalytic amplification, and the rare ability to strengthen every ally around him — Nix must race to stop a rogue chemist from completing an ancient weapon powerful enough to destroy the Halstable, the invisible city-ship that is home to four thousand unicorns.

Joining Nix on his quest are his loyal silver-horn stablemate Silubhra, whose voice can persuade the stars to change course; Tanra, a razor-sharp warrior-elf ranger of Lethean Silva; Alvar, an unflappable young chemist from the City of Kudos who calculates molecular structures from under collapsed buildings; and Rendala, a master chemist whose pockets hold more secrets than most laboratories. Together they’ll cross glittering mineral-weave forests, navigate the electromagnetic interference of Guarded Forest, battle elemental-powered guards at a remote iron-ridge fortress, and face an adversary whose brilliance is matched only by her grievance.

Grounded in real periodic table science and bursting with imaginative world-building, Nix the Metal Horn Unicorn With Nickel Magic brings the chemistry of Element 28 to vivid, adventurous life. Every one of Nix’s magical abilities — from his internal compass to his ability to store and redistribute energy like a living battery — is rooted in the genuine properties of nickel. Science has never felt so thrilling.

Perfect for fans of fantasy adventure, elemental magic systems, science-themed fiction, and stories about the quiet heroes who hold everything together when it matters most.
