The Boy with the Amber Eyes - Softcover

“What’s it to you, P? What is it you want?” Tinkerbelle snarled. “Me?” Pike laughed quietly. “Battles and brimstone, fire and ash, fight evil and win, die a hero and return, marry the sprite princess, raise little Eleanors, bring up foals and...” He leant into her a little then. “I don’t flipping know – to somehow matter, I guess.”

With his girlfriend away travelling and a solitary autumn ahead of him, Pike, former dressage protégé and heir to two very different family traditions, finds himself alone with the question of what he wants to do with his life. In the meantime, there is a young stallion to train, a new friend to tame, some old ones to rescue and a mystery to solve.

Set in the grounds of Hawthorne Cottage, The Boy with the Amber Eyes is a stand alone follow up to Eleanor McGraw, a pony named Mouse and a boy called Fire.
