"With a sudden shock, Grace realised: She hates me enough to kill me..."
Grace is an orphan who lives at Drumshee Castle in the time of Queen Elizabeth I. She thinks she can survive anything as long as she has her pony, Golden Dawn. But Grace's cruel aunt and uncle are plotting to get rid of her-and one night their carefully laid plans turn into action.
Helped by her powerful cousin Brendan, her foster brother Enda, and her beloved Golden Dawn, Grace escapes and sets out in search of safety and justice. But even amidst the splendor of Queen Elizabeth's court, she longs for the peaceful hills of Drumshee. Will she ever be able to return?
