From the moment he first saw the stallion, he knew it would either destroy him, or carry him where no one had ever been before…

Overview

While traveling with his father, young Alec becomes fascinated by a mysterious Arabian stallion that is brought on board and stabled in the ship he is sailing on. When it tragically sinks both he and the horse survive only to be stranded on a deserted island.
