His father dead, his sisters kidnapped, a boy with an
intuition for horses flees his home and is taken in by a
veterinarian during the turbulent years of the Reconquest of
medieval Spain At the border of the Christian kingdom of
Castile and the Muslim caliphate of Al-Andalus, a little inn
sits on the front lines of the battle for Iberia. When word
travels that the most feared fighters of the Muslim world,
the Imesebelen, are advancing on Toledo, the innkeeper tells
his son, Diego, to flee with his sisters. But Diego refuses
to abandon his father. The old man and one of his daughters
are slaughtered, and the other two girls are kidnapped. Now
there’s only one thought on Diego’s mind:
revenge. On his lightning-fast Arabian mare, Diego makes his
way to Toledo. It is the start of a journey that will usher
him into manhood and lead him to the dawn of a field of
medicine that will change Spain—and the
world—forever.
