13-year-old Zoe knows as much about horses as she does about physics – which is nothing at all. However, when she accompanies her friend Kim to the entrance exam at the Snowfields riding school, she has an encounter that she can't shake off. The black stallion Shaman is considered shy and dangerous. Yet, from the very beginning, he seems to trust Zoe. But that's not all: his gaze tells her that only she can help him.
