When tragedy strikes his family, young Mark is
thrown upon the mercy of his enigmatic, prickly
Aunt Fiona, who shares her home on an isolated
island with a herd of enchanting, graceful wild
ponies. For twenty years, the island has been
Fiona's refuge from her own secret tragedy but she
doesn't seem to have any mercy to spare, only
rules. Mark is not to call her aunt. He must not
tell lies. Most importantly of all, he is never to
touch the wild horses. But when a hurricane leaves
her a colt orphaned and doomed, Mark discovers
that by breaking Fiona's rules, he inadvertently
helps her and himself to begin their lives again.
