Meet Lilliana: a brilliant rider and trainer of mustang ponies, a girl brought up with horses who truly understands their ways. But Lilliana is no ordinary rider; an orphan found and and adopted by the chief of an Indian tribe, she is familiar with all the sights, sounds and dangers of the beautiful American west. When she sees a mistreated jet-black pony with a long white blaze, her heart goes out to him and she becomes the only human he will trust. She alone has the courage and skill to ride him out into the wilderness. Together they confront every danger and hardship, forming a bond that cannot be broken, but creating envy and anger among the men and boys who resent her superior talents.
It is only when she meets a kindred spirit, Becky, an army officer’s daughter, that her mastery of horsemanship is fully recognized and appreciated for what it is. And when warfare comes to their world, they embark on a perilous adventure through the wilderness in a bid for peace, and to challenge their elders’ war-like ways.
Out in the snowy region known only as ‘The Valley of the Ghosts’, they trek alone, their riding and survival skills tested to their very limits...
