Brumbies of the Night
In the beating storms of winter, a mare cries out in desperation, searching for what the swollen river has taken from her . . .
He was beautiful and he was hers, given forever by the river Yarralala, the foal of the flood. Burra knows this foal will bring trouble. It cannot be Coolawyn's foal – none of the herd has seen a snow-white foal with such strange red eyes before. Who is he really? Why is it now that the drumming hooves of galloping horses are heard in the deepest dark of night?
Distant legends tell of horses running with the moonlight. For Burra, Coolawyn and Yarralala, the ghostly shadows are becoming real . . .

A silver brumby is special, but he will be hunted by man and horse alike, and must be stronger than both. Thowra, the magnificent silver stallion, is king of the brumbies. But he must defend his herd from the mighty horse, The Brolga, in the most savage of struggles. That is not the only danger. Thowra needs all his speed and cunning to save his herd from capture by man. In a desperate chase through the mountains, it seems there is no longer anywhere for his herd to run . . .
