This sweeping, emotionally-resonant fantasy from beloved author
Jessica Day George is perfect for fans of Princess Academy and Black
Beauty.
When orphaned Anthea Cross-Thornley receives a letter from a long-lost
uncle, she wonders if she will finally find a true home. But she is
shocked to learn that her uncle secretly breeds horses--animals that
have been forbidden in her kingdom for centuries. More alarming is
Anthea's strange ability to sense the horses' thoughts and feelings, an
ancient gift called The Way. Confused and terrified, Anthea is desperate
to leave, but when her family and kingdom are put at risk, can she
embrace The Way and the exciting future it might bring her?
