Nineteen-year-old Cali Morven never planned to set foot near a stable again-not after losing her sister Rowan in a riding accident, and not after watching her own horse, Cygnet, die in her arms. Grief, silence, and medication have become her only companions.
But when her mother's illness forces a painful decision, Cali is sent from Vermont to the Scottish Highlands-to Morven Hollow, the elite equestrian academy her sister was meant to attend. Surrounded by strangers, old stone, and the weight of legacy, Cali is expected to do the one thing she's been avoiding: ride.
And not just any horse.
Stormlight, Rowan's powerful and volatile gelding, hasn't let anyone near him since the fall. Everyone says he's dangerous. Everyone says Cali isn't ready. But Cali can still feel her sister in the cold wind that sweeps the hills... and in the eyes of the horse Rowan left behind.
As secrets surface and loyalties shift, Cali must decide: will she confront the past she's been running from-or let it claim her, too?

She has dreamed of this moment for as long as she can remember. But there's one problem: her family's budget is tight, and they can only afford to buy mares for their breeding and training program. While accompanying her dad to a horse auction, Khloe stumbles upon a stunning dapple-gray Quarter Horse mare-her dream horse. But this mare isn't just wild-she's been abused, broken, and has lost all trust in humans. Now, Khloe faces two challenges: convincing her dad to buy the mare and, if she succeeds, proving to the frightened horse that they are meant to be.
