History is the great adventure of mankind, and horses have been our faithful partners in the journey.
The Legend of the Great Horse is a story about a young girl who retakes that journey with our ancient partner ... the amazing worlds explored in the story are times from our own past.
Not a ‘horse story’ in the conventional sense, The Legend of the Great Horse trilogy is a reading experience that brings our amazing legacy of horsemanship to life. Whether or not you are an enthusiast of horses, young Meagan's entertaining ride will show you something new and exciting in the pages of history.
American writer John Allen Royce, Jr. has a passion for sharing the love of horses and riding. Twenty years of competitive riding, training and coaching combined with an interest in history to spark his award-winning adventure, The Legend of the Great Horse.
Mr. Royce’s debut title was Book I of the trilogy, Eclipsed by Shadow, which won national honors including the 2009 Eric Hoffer Book Award for Best Young Adult Fiction, and the Mom’s Choice Award (Gold Recipient) for best “family-friendly” Fantasy. The author’s second title, The Golden Spark, won the 2012 Written Arts Award for best Science Fiction/Fantasy.
Born in California and growing up in Texas, the author has traveled ‘from sea to shining sea’ in his native America and resides in Boston, Massachusetts. He enjoys time with nature and animals, weather permitting (it is New England).
