Fifteen-year-old Tobias Doljan Walked back in time to prevent a war, but he instead found himself trapped in an adult body, with his king murdered and with an infant princess, Sofya, to protect. Now he’s been joined by fellow Walker and Spanner Mara, and, together, they must find a way to undo the timeline that orphaned the princess and destroyed their future. Arrayed against them are assassins who share their time-traveling powers, and the Tirribin demon Droë, whose desperate quest for human love and Tobias leads her into alliances that threaten all of Islevale.

Anthea and her friends are on a mission. Anthea's mother has kidnapped a Coronami princess, the herd stallion and half a dozen more horses - enough to start her own herd. Suspecting that she is making a deal with the antagonistic emperor of the neighboring land, Kronenhof, Anthea and her friends race there to meet with the emperor and try to find Princess Margaret and the horses. But they don't have much time before Coronam declares war against Kronenhof, which would leave Anthea and her companions trapped in a hostile country.

Anthea knows the truth about horses. They’re not carriers of deadly disease like everyone in their kingdom thinks; they’re majestic creatures who share their thoughts and feelings with her through The Way. Anthea has convinced the king of this, but at a cost - he demands that horses and riders with The Way do his bidding. But when a deadly plague breaks out, the people believe that horses are the cause. As more fall ill, it's up to Anthea and her friends to transport medicine, all while keeping out of reach from Anthea's wicked mother.

When orphaned Anthea Cross-Thornley receives a letter from a long-lost uncle, she wonders if she will finally find a true home. But she is shocked to learn that her uncle secretly breeds horses - animals that have been forbidden in her kingdom for centuries. More alarming is Anthea’s strange ability to sense the horses' thoughts and feelings, an ancient gift called The Way. Confused and terrified, Anthea is desperate to leave, but when her family and kingdom are put at risk, can she embrace The Way and the exciting future it might bring her?
