Book IV
Wind Horse: The Assassin

'It was theirs, the people that belonged to nature forever were a part of the mountains. Horses long-traversed this land when it was a world only of myths long before they became legends, when the horses were transparent like ghosts from another time, and its wild rivers thundered through magnificent mountain gorges on amazing moonlit nights such as this. Tom was as immortal in this moment as the moonlight, as eternal as Ancient Gondwana and as ethereal as the haunting cry of Thunder again resonating into the deepening night.'

The fourth in the Wind Horse series is a work in progress due for publication in the next two months (March 2006).  << BACK TO BOOKS
