This is a fabulous tale about a girl rejects her heritage and upbringing to do what she has always wanted and dreamed of doing, being with horses. After going to learn of horses she grows up and comes into her identity.

She danced to the music of magic, danger, and love … Glennys had come to the dazzling city of St. Lucien to seek her fortune. No longer under the protection of Baron Fulk, unable to return to her strict Alaminite folk, she soon found work as a Horse Skiller with the Queen's Opera. But her Heart's true desire is to appear with the Opera … performing onstage in the intricate and demanding horse-dance. And Glynnys has the gift that could make her the greatest of all dancers. But to reveal her gift is to expose her true identity, for only one of the noble blood has the power. And amid the courtly intrigues of St. Lucien, to claim her birthright could put Glennys is gravest peril …

Finding refuge with her followers in the Saquave Wilderness after abandoning their homeland, Glennys reigns as the Stallion Queen, living in harmony with all creatures of the wild, until an unexpected stranger darkens her door.
