Eclipsed by Shadow, the Legend of the Great Horse, is a wonderful juxtaposition
of fantasy against historical fact. It mixes genres in a way that will thrill
fantasy, history and horse fans alike. I read it from cover to cover in one
sitting and I can’t wait for more.
From the very first chapter it’s obvious
that the book is written by someone who really knows horses, horsemanship, and
the history of the horse, inside and out. Only a true horseman would know that,
“horsemanship is both subtle and vast”, that “horses attracted both eccentrics
and flies.”.
Royce took me on a wildly exciting ride from present day, to
20,000 B.C, forward to 700, B.C. then on to Rome in 100 A.D and finally to
Central Asia in 1240 A.D. While traveling with Meagan and her horse Promise, I
learned about man’s relationship with horses throughout history. It was a
fascinating tour through history on horseback, full of facts and information,
but presented in such a fast-paced and exciting way that I forgot that I was
actually learning. I can’t wait to saddle up and ride along with Meagan and
Promise in book two.

"Following the birth of a palomino foal, 12-year-old Meagan names
the young horse Promise, and an uncommon bond forms between the two. Told by an
elderly woman that Promise is one of the legendary Great Horses, Meagan flees
with Promise through time after she discovers that others want Promise for
themselves. Veteran horseman Royce combines history and myth with action and
adventure to create a fast-paced, well-informed tale of a flying horse and the
young girl who loves her. This series opener should appeal to fans of equestrian
novels as well as historic fantasy and belongs in most libraries adult and YA
collections."
