Thundering Hooves: Spirit of the West (Wildlife Novels, Band 2) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Ride into the heart of the American West in a gripping battle to save its most iconic wild spirits.

Thundering Hooves (working title) is the pulse-pounding second installment of the acclaimed wildlife eco-fiction trilogy, following the events of Spirit of the Wolf. Haunted photographer Caleb and rising fashion designer Lacey return, leaving the borders of Yellowstone behind for a high-stakes mission in the rugged landscapes of Colorado. As Lacey fights to break into the competitive Denver fashion market with her expanding sports clothing line, Caleb dives headfirst into an explosive new battle: documenting the brutal reality of government-sanctioned helicopter wild horse roundups engineered to clear public lands for commercial livestock grazing.

Loosely based on the breathtaking real life of Picasso, the legendary stallion of Colorado's Sand Wash Basin, this historical fiction novel seamlessly intertwines heart-stopping romance with burning modern controversies. As Colorado voters pass a monumental ballot measure to reintroduce apex wolves to the state, Caleb and Lacey find themselves caught in a dangerous crossfire between passionate conservationists and powerful, hostile ranching factions. What makes this eco-adventure truly unforgettable is its immersive storytelling: Some chapters are told directly from the perspective of the horses and wolves themselves, pulling you into the heart of the herd to experience their courageous, raw struggle for survival against deep-seated persecution.
