The Centaur's Promise — Nancy Cole Silverman

The Centaur's Promise is a thrilling saga of personal discovery and equestrian bonds that transports us from mythical Greece to contemporary Los Angeles. In 320 B.C., Chiron, the leader of the Centaurs, commands the ancients to stop warring. He banishes all Centaurs from early Greece. But before they depart, he proclaims: "We will leave, but we will take the hearts of your best women with us. Through them, we will rule your world for eternity." Cynthia Szantos is lost in a dead-end job and a failing romance. After she nearly kills a horse that bolts in front of her on a Southern California freeway, her momentous journey begins. Veterinary science, a Navaho code talker, and thousands of wild mustangs dash in and out of her consciousness as she is hurtled through time and space. Will Cynthia's spiritual and physical attachment to horses motivate her to restore her mystical faith and revive her natural talent? Author Nancy Cole Silverman is on a mission to save wild horses from being euthanized and spare humans from feeling hopeless. Before becoming a novelist, she worked as a journalist and copywriter. The author currently publishes a bimonthly newspaper, The Equestrian News. She is currently working on her next two novels. Born in Seattle, she now lives in Los Angeles with her husband.
