"The Seventh Unicorn is one of those rare reading experiences;
page-turning and insightful, it explores the human condition in a way
that few novels do. Kelly Jones is a wonderful writer, and definitely
one to watch."
Nicholas Sparks

For years, widowed curator Alexandra Pellier has dedicated herself exclusively to her daughter Soleil and her work at the Cluny museum in Paris. Then one day on assignment at the Convent of Sainte Blandine, Alex stumbles upon an unusual find, a sketch for what appears to be an undiscovered medieval tapestry hidden somewhere in the convent.
What begins as a harmless investigation into the mystery of the tapestry’s origins soon erupts into an international art controversy, with Alex at its center. Convinced that the tapestry is part of the famous Lady and the Unicorn series that hangs in her museum, Alex is determined to obtain it for the Cluny before anyone else does. Standing in her way is the Archbishop of Lyon, who wants to turn the crumbling convent into a hotel, and a rival curator from an American museum eager to make a name for himself. But there’s even more at stake - Jacob Bowman, an American friend from her art school days, has returned to Paris and become embroiled in the drama. Will her determination to win the tapestry cost Alex the last chance she may have at love?
