Lady Amalthea is the last of her kind, and by some strange happenstance, she is turned into a human. She goes through intense depression after realizing her own mortality (Unicorns are immortal, in case you didn't know) and also learns how vain she was as an immortal. Slowly, Amalthea learns how to be compassionate, caring, and eventually, how to love.
This novel is excellently done, and filled with vivid imagery.
