The Blue Roan Child
Chicken House, New York, 2004, 252 pp
12-year-old Syeira is an orphan, and has grown up in the royal stables of the Hayselean kingdom. She is very good with horses, and is struck by the three wild horses the king’s men have just caught: a blue roan mare and her two foals. An evil lord steals the foals, and Syeira is able to set the mare free. She then helps the mare to find the foals. The mare, Arwin, and Syeira are able to communicate, though wordlessly; it’s done through smells and scent pictures.
