Home of the Spirit Animals - Paperback

by Cyd Raschke (Author), Raven Petty (Editor), Jennifer Grace (Co-Producer)

In a world divided by war and destiny, two teens from opposite sides of history are drawn together by an ancient bond-one that could change their lives and the fate of the spirit animals forever.

Nemae has never truly belonged. A captive of a coastal tribe, she's spent her life in servitude, keeping her bold spirit hidden. But when she starts dreaming of magnificent creatures-tall, powerful horses unlike any she's ever seen-she realizes they might be more than dreams. The spirit animals of legend are calling to her, and she must decide whether to answer.

Across the ocean, Diego is eager to prove himself. On a Spanish expedition, he expects adventure and glory, not disaster. But when a violent storm leaves him stranded in an unfamiliar land, survival means learning a new way of life-and guarding the secrets that could cost him everything.

When Nemae's world and Diego's world collide, they uncover a connection between humans and horses as old as time. But with rival tribes and dangerous enemies closing in, they must risk everything to protect the spirit animals who have found their way to America, to the country where their ancestors were born.

Perfect for fans of Children of Blood and Bone and The Girl Who Drank the Moon, Home of the Spirit Animals is a sweeping YA historical fantasy filled with adventure, survival, and the power of the wild.
