*Australian Book Design Awards- Best Designed Children's Book Winner 2020*
Nina lives with her father above the palace stables at the Royal Academy of Dancing Horses. She loves watching the famous white stallions as they parade for the crowds, but her favourite horse is a mare called Zelda - an old cab horse Nina often pats on her way home from school.
When Nina's world changes dramatically, she and her father have to flee from the city. Their journey over the mountains with Zelda and the stallions seems impossible, with danger at every turn. It will require all of Nina's bravery, daring and faith in an extraordinary old horse.
