A work of historical horse fiction. Three centuries before the story begins Hernan Cortes brought a beautiful Arabian stallion to Mexico. Somehow he escaped from the Spanish Conqueror, and thereafter his legend grew. Years later in the Rio Grande country men claimed to have seen the silver horse racing wild and free in the moonlight. The Lonely One, they called him, or the Silver Loneliness. No one could lay hand on him, but sometimes ranchers found silver foals running with their herds, although he never killed range stallions or stole their mares. His decendents all bore the distinctive marks of the great Arab strain. When the silver stallion died no one knew, for the border folk claimed to see him still. Chela, thirteen-year-old granddaughter of the good doctor Don Diego, first learned of the legend when she received a fiesta gift: a tiny silver statue of a winged horse, wrought with exquisite workmanship, springing from a base of carved ebony. Somehow the little figure embodied all the beauty, all the wild desire for freedom of the legendary stallion. From that moment he lived in her imagination. Would she ever see the Silver Loneliness, running as fleet as a hawk on the wing in the moonlight.…
