Her parents say that Adoyni has a plan, but she can’t wait for Him any longer. Shalock Stables. She wasn’t allowed to help Papa with the horses. It was perfect! Only it wasn’t. When a beautiful chestnut filly is badly beaten, Geona has to do something. “Don’t go near the horses, and no hiking in the Razors.” Twelve year old Geona drank in the beautiful sight of the moonlight shining on the horses around the large barn. And Papa now worked here! They lived just steps away from the biggest barn of the stables. Tristan, her older brother, wasn’t permitted into the Razors, the massive mountains filled with peril and adventure. Is the filly lost forever, or can she save them from disaster?
