After being caught stealing the prestigious herd of a wicked Duchess. The Duchess transforms him into a gracious black stallion so she may break his wild spirit and keep him all for herself. The only way to free himself from this form and return back to humanity is to surrender his pride and to allow himself to be tamed by a woman.

Abigail, an orphan, is the shy lady's maid to a spoilt princess. Constantly, shunned and shamed by the princess and her noble friends. She lives believing only in her suppose worthlessness and wishing that one day the prince would see her as more than his sister's shadow and whisk her off her feet to live happily ever after.
Follow them in their remarkable journey, experiencing a friendship and loyalty that blossom between a wild, stubborn, fearsome beast and a shy, anxious, dreamy castle maid.
