"Better that you'd never been born." His father's bitter words torment Soulai. Even worse, he fears they may be true. Soulai isn't brave like his sister. He isn't an accomplished harness maker like his father. He is just a boy who likes to sculpt clay horses--so unimportant that his own father has sold him into slavery. But in Nineveh, the seat of the ancient Assyrian kingdom, Soulai gets his first glimpse of a stallion named Ti; a horse so regal he bears the mark of the gods. Like Soulai, Ti is owned by the spoiled young Prince Habasle. And like Soulai, the stallion's courage is questioned. Prince Habasle believes that Ti's strange markings promise a future of greatness--a grand destiny liked to Habasle's own determination to become king. As Soulai is suddenly swept into the dangerous world of palace intrigue where his life, as well as Ti's, is put at risk, he can only wonder: Will he find the courage to make a mark of his own? Diane Lee Wilson brings to life an exotic, fascinating world in this moving and inspiring epic adventure of two very different boys and the horse that stands between them; three unlikely allies, each bound for his own kind of greatness.
