A moving and heartfelt story about the lengths one would go to help
their family
When Oyuna was a baby, a horse accidentally crushed her foot, cursing
her family with bad luck. Oyuna vows to restore good fortune to her
family...but how?
One fateful day, soldiers from the great Khan's army invade her village
to steal horses and gather new soldiers. In hopes of bringing honor to
her family, Oyuna courageously disguises herself as a boy and joins the
soldiers on their quest. With only her horse and her cat to keep her
company, Oyuna sets off on an amazing journey across deserts and
mountains--a journey that will change her life forever.
