Anthea has been moved from relative to
relative ever since she was orphaned, until she is invited by a distant uncle
to come and live with him. Anthea is
hesitant to live with this uncle because he lives on the other side of the Wall
and Anthea has been raised to think only outlaws live on the other side. When Anthea gets to her uncle's, she is
further perplexed because he also owns forbidden horses. Anthea seems to have a deep bond with one of
the powerful stallions and starts to realize that there are many mysteries
surrounding her life.
I loved this story
because Anthea is a strong character who is easy to empathize with. The minor characters are also amusing and the
plot moves along at a quick and interesting pace. I imagine there will be more in this series
because the ending left a few bigger questions open.
