The army has taken almost everything. What remains is a handful of pregnant broodmares, a breeding programme with no stallions, and a responsibility that would crush most adults, let alone an eighteen-year-old girl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen a wounded lieutenant walks through the gate with a blind stallion and nowhere else to go. David Llewellyn is quiet, capable, and completely unsuitable - a Welsh farmer's son with no money, a bad arm, and the stubborn conviction that the horse who saved his life deserves to come home.
