Unicorn nuzzles Acorna the Unicorn Girl from classic science fiction

Meeting Acorna just had to be done, and this is the best of 18 creations.

Acorna - Adventures of the Unicorn Girl - 10 book classic science fiction series by Anne McCaffrey, Margaret Ball, and Elizabeth A. Scarborough.

Book 1: The future of an entire species rests on the delicate shoulders of a tiny baby who was set adrift in a lifepod to save her from the vicious hands of Khlevii warriors. Her rescuers, three bachelor asteroid miners, marvel at the unusual child's astonishing growth rate and superior intelligence, naming her Acorna for her other-worldly silvery mane of hair and horn-like bump in the middle of her forehead.

Enchanting though she is, young Acorna's unusual talents capture the attention of some unsavory intergalactic inhabitants who are determined to twist her powers for their own gain. But as Acorna gains control over her powers she matures into a worthy contender in the interspatial adventures that pursue her in her desperate search for her People and their world.
