They re renowned and in demand from all nations as a special breed.

But Silas runs afoul of an ill-tempered teacher at the Speakers Academy in Heathrin and is exiled to ride with a caravan of itinerant traders who are riding among the villages and cities of the continent of Ellan Sheeant. He is denied once again his opportunity to acquire a special talent that will set him apart.
And it is during that journey that Silas discovers the truly amazing adventures that await him.
