In the lush green valleys of southern France, long before the mists of time, humankind takes its first defiant steps to tame the earth. Among them, one special tribe of the Kindred is ruled by the wise and powerful Priestess Arika. But a feared change is coming. The distant thunder of hooves carries whispers of a fierce race of conquerors whose astonishing horsemanship grants them the power of conquest—a power that threatens to enslave Kindred women, murder their men, and burn their villages. It falls to the exiled Ronan, Arika’s courageous young son, to meet this challenge. But first, he must reunite with his true love, Nel, whose charisma and magical talents with animals may help him master the wild horse—a skill that could shift the tide of war. As the young lovers and their band of loyal renegades race to stop the invaders’ relentless advance, the grasslands tremble with the sound of battle, a clash that will determine the Kindreds’ destiny. Against the lush backdrop of a vanished primeval world, this spellbinding novel weaves a timeless tale of adventure and conflict, rivalry and revenge, love and passion.
