Synopsis:
Moonbeam lives in the magical land of Glaucio. She is the daughter of the Fiona, lead mare of the main herd in the land. When Fiona is brutally killed by Abaddon, the villain, Moonbeam is thrust into command of the herd. She must battle against Abaddon and his evil forces using her innocence and the gift from an older horse, Daryn. Abaddon wishes to kill Stardust, the stallion in charge of all the land. If he succeeds, Glaucio will be cast into 300 years of darkness, evilness and despair
Excerpt:
I never finished my sentence. A malicious laugh followed by a pathetic whinny reached my ears. My heart skipped a beat. I looked at Ellipse and her eyes were wide with fear, as I’m sure mine were.
Looking around the corner, I saw something that I wish I had never seen. My mother, Fiona, lead mare of the herd, lay in the middle of the clearing. Her coat was bruised and blood dirtied her pure white coat. She was breathing heavily.
I looked around for the one who had committed this treacherous deed and saw him. My legs almost collapsed beneath me. Out of the trees came the most dreaded horse in all the land. Abbadon.
“Come in here Moonbeam and see what I have done,” He invited, his lips curled up in an evil smile.
Lowering my head, I jogged towards my mother. Stopping beside her, I inspected her wounds more carefully. Her eyes were laced with pain and I could sense her silently pleading me to leave. I again looked at her wounds. Pain gripped my heart as I discovered she wouldn’t make it.
“Oh the poor dear,” sneered Abbadon, “You’ll just have to learn to live with disappointment now, won’t you?”
“Why? Why did you do this? What right have you to come and kill…” a lump caught in my throat, “kill innocent horses?” I finished, still keeping my head low.
He snorted maliciously. “I see you have learned from our last encounter, Moonbeam. You now keep your eyes down.”
Everything inside me told me to strike out and injure him, but somehow I restrained myself. After a deep breath, I responded, “You didn’t answer my question, but yes. I have learned. I have learned how evil you really are!”
Thank you so much for reading! Feel free to pass the link on to anyone you think might be interested. If you'd like to also pass on the excerpt/cover art/synopsis, please email me at princess00kacia @ gmail dot com.
