Caught between two World Empires, a young Mayan girl is ripped from her family by conquistadors. Thus begins a powerful journey of courage, loyalty and hope, against impossible odds.

1519: In the Age of Conquest a battle between Spaniard and Maya took everything from Abì—her home, her family, her freedom. Only one person showed her kindness: Felipe, a Taino boy torn between two cultures, forced to serve the conquerors who tried to destroy his own life.
When Felipe rescues Abì and disappears, she’s left alone in a land scarred by war. Then she finds Majesty—the stolen warhorse that once belonged to Felipe’s father— wounded, left for dead, and just as lost as she is. Nursing him back to health, Abì clings to hope that Felipe will return for his horse. When he doesn’t, she is forced to set out alone across a dangerous land to search for her family… and a future worth fighting for.
Across the sea in Cuba, Felipe has freed himself from Cortes and his father from Cortes’ prison, yet peace eludes him. He can’t escape the question of what became of Abì—and whether Majesty still lives. His return to Mexico will test them all—and lead to a climax none of them expects.

Saving Majesty, Book Two in the Unbroken Horses series, is a tender, unforgettable story of hope, love, and the unbreakable bond between a girl, a boy, and a magnificent horse.

Here's what some readers have said about Unbroken:

"It held my interest and kept me on the edge of my seat... thoroughly researched historical events including Spanish conquests... This story is great for youths & adults alike."
"I had been hoping merely for something to fill in our curriculum for a few weeks, but I found an excellent book I'm sure our middle schoolers will enjoy and I know they will learn from."
"I'm a history buff and like historical fiction. I will read this again and recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good book...Yes, there are still many of us who appreciate a comprehensible sentence without the need for curse words!"
"I intended to purchase Laura Hillenbrand's Unbroken, but I accidentally bought this one instead. I'm glad I did... Now I plan to read Hillenbrand's Unbroken, but I actually suspect I may not appreciate it as much as I did this accidental purchase."

If you loved Unbroken, if you love clean, well-written historical fiction, Saving Majesty should be your next read.
