Midnight

In the vast and lawless frontier, a wild black colt named Midnight and his mother Lady Ebony must survive against forces that would break lesser creatures. Wolves hunt in packs across the frozen meadows. Storms roll in without warning, bringing cold that bites to the bone. Drought shrinks the watering holes, and hunger becomes a constant companion. But Midnight is fast, and his mother is wise, and together they possess something that no predator can match: the will to live. This is adventure stripped to its essence, told through the eyes of horses who know nothing of human worlds, only the ancient rhythms of the wilderness. The prose carries the crisp air of open country, the terror of the chase, the quiet moments when the world seems almost gentle. It's a book that trusts young readers with real danger, real loss, and the hard-won peace that comes only to those who have struggled against the elements. Perfect for readers who devoured Black Stallion and loved the frontier, or anyone who dreams of wide horizons and the freedom of running with the wind.
