"And indeed, a horse who bears himself proudly is a thing of such beauty and astonishment that he attracts the eyes of all beholders; no one will tire of looking at him as long as he will display himself in his splendor."
- Xenophon
" Where in the world is nobility found without conceit? Where is there friendship without envy? Where is beauty without vanity?Here one finds gracefulness coupled with power, and strength tempered with gentleness."
- Isenbart, "The Kingdom of the Horse"

Sybilla Corbuc has an uncommon understanding of the horses she cares for, but there are men who distrust such wisdom in a woman.

Brought together by the birth of a mysterious colt, an animal of supernatural power that may foretell their destiny, they embark upon a perilous journey as the kingdom crumbles around them, a journey that will bring them ever closer to each other—and to the danger that lies ahead. And only love can save them…
