Chosen Four — M.S. Taeryn

"You," the squirrel told them gravely, "are the Chosen Four." In a world where no humans dwell, prophecy shapes the lives of its creatures. As four horses discover their power over the elements of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water, danger threatens the peaceful Valley of Fael. When a mysterious squirrel teaches these four the ancient ways, their power goes awry with near-disastrous consequences. In a secret valley, their teacher reveals them as the Chosen Four, destined to save their world from a great and terrible evil. Embarking upon a perilous quest, the four horses must face numerous threats: vicious hyena-like dogs, a living storm, a deadly assassin, and a trial of illusion. As their powers strengthen and their path grows more dangerous, the horses must draw closer together or risk defeat. Slowly unraveling a strange riddle, the horses realize they have yet to face their most dangerous foe. An evil tyrant called the Abomination has gathered a horde of starved and maddened creatures and is preparing set them loose upon Faelas. As the Faelan horse-herds prepare for battle, they wait for their saviors to help turn back the tide of their enemies. Will the four fulfill the prophecy, or will Faelas fall into darkness and ruin?
