Hannan is a young shepherd who makes his living by herding his goats from place to place. He’s been living on his own ever since his parents disappeared into the desert, searching for a cure. Everything he knows is questioned when he meets a mysterious sorcerer who gives him the opportunity to exchange his herd of goats for a lovely desert pony. When he decides to forgo everything he has, he’s inspired to embark on an adventure across the desert to a magical lake where he must solve a riddle, and if he gets it wrong there could be deadly consequences.
Angharad Thompson Rees delivers another delightful pony tale with magic and adventure as another youngster embarks on a spellbinding journey.
