Minna's Quest (9781409506881)

Minna is just a blacksmith's daughter, yet she succeeds in raising a sickly abandoned foal, turning him into the pride of the Roman cavalry. Her stubborn determination and fiery nature burn brightly in the quiet fort of Othona and soon attract the secret admiration of the proud commander, Theo. When strong-willed Minna rescues an abandoned foal, she does not realise that he will become the pride of the Roman cavalry, nor the part they will play when her town is threatened by bloodthirsty pirates. Minna risks all as she sets out on a perilous journey to save her people. A gripping tale of passion, courage and adventure set in the vibrant historical setting of Roman England.
