"If only changing her name is all it took to change behavior," the farm owner laments. Despite her new name, Gidget, the horse formerly known as Witch, struggles to abandon old, unstable habits. Along the way, the fearful horse captures the heart of a grieving child, and miracles of healing unfold to a remarkable conclusion. A story about changing one's destiny.

Eleven years of peace shatter when the great dragons attack. Prince Valerian, unable to contact the dragon leader, Albinonix, is blamed for bringing the dragons to Levathia. With King Orland gravely ill, and Merry unable to Heal him, Lord Lewes and Sir Gregory take advantage of the turmoil by putting forward their own candidate to succeed Orland in place of Valerian. How can Valerian and Merry quell these dire threats to Levathia's peace, especially when the unlawfully proposed successor is someone they both love?

While Prince Valerian adjusts to marriage as well as his new title, conspiracy brews in the south among disgruntled lords who wish to separate from the north. The situation is made even more volatile by a charismatic rebel leader whose guerilla tactics are swift and brutal. The clandestine efforts of a witch hired by one of the lords render Valerian's gift of Sight ineffective, and Merry's Healing gift is sorely tested. It has become dangerous for a northerner living in the south, and if the gifted young royals fail to stop the growing rebellion, evil will reign in Levathia.

The pretender king and the lawless regency council are no more.

But there is another dragon under the control of the witch Edrea and the one surviving member of the former regency council who feels he has nothing to lose by unleashing this dragon's fury.
