Astrid knows unicorns don't exist. They are mythical beings. But her mom believes that unicorns not only exist, but that they are bloodythirsty, deadly creatures. Her mother is a little crazy, but then Astrid is forced to believe in her mother's stories when her boyfriend is gored by a unicorn and almost dies. As a reward for saving him, Astrid is dumped and humiliated before second period the next day at school. Her mother though is elated to be proven right and sends Astrid off to Rome to train in hunting unicorns.
Astrid quickly discovers that Rome isn't going to be the holiday she was hoping for. The cloisters are in disrepair. Cory, her roommate goes completely psycho whenever she sees their pet unicorn, and the few girls that arrive aren't sure about how to actually kill the unicorns that all of a sudden seem to be everywhere they go in Rome.
Being a unicorn hunter also requires sacrifices. Only virgins may be unicorn hunters and they are required to live in the cloisters like nuns for the rest of their lives. Astrid isn't prepared to make that kind of lifestyle choice, especially not after she meets the handsome and smart Giovanni one night when she sneaks out.
But as much as Astrid isn't sure about her future unicorn hunting, how can she turn back now, when unicorns are once more running Rampant?
