10 | ''Imagine Someday'' is an urban fantasy novel and the debut of author Karen Lofgren. |
11 | |
12 | It tells the story of Diego Avery, a lonely young man who discovers a griffin in his forested backyard. Said griffin, named Aglaciel, [[IdentityAmnesia can't remember anything about what happened to him]]. A QuestForIdentity begins when Diego's girlfriend, Miho, finds a {{unicorn}} in a nearby public park, and a lot more questions than answers are brought to the surface. |
13 | |
14 | However, Diego has a lot of baggage himself, and sooner or later that's going to come to the forefront... |
15 | |
16 | Starts off as a pretty typical ABoyAndHisX story -- a young man having adventures with his griffin, but it but quickly gets darker. |

48 | %% * OurGryphonsAreDifferent: Aglaciel is a Classic. |
49 | %% * PrettyBoy: Diego is even called this at one point. |
