"Kaya loves nothing better than riding her beloved horse, Steps High, through the mountains, canyons, and prairies of her homeland. But when Kaya's boasting leads to danger, she earns a terrible nickname she desperately wants to lose--especially now that she's trying to impress a young warrior woman named Swan Circling. Although Kaya has made mistakes, she wants very badly to learn from Swan Circling. But will Swan Circling want to teach her?"--Back cover.

The arrival of an injured stranger from another tribe, traveling alone and apparently unable to speak, arouses suspicion in Kaya's Nez Perce village.

"Kaya's people tell a story about unusual silver stallions of long ago that had powerful medicine--a strong connection to the spirit world. One night Kaya's sister Speaking Rain dreams of a stallion like none she's ever met. Then the two girls discover a lone silver stallion living in the woods. Is he a Ghost Wind Stallion of legend? And if so, will he bring benefit or harm to Kaya, Speaking Rain, and their people?"--Back cover.
