Jonathon, a thirteen-year-old boy, bears the burden of being both feared and despised by the brown-eyed Valley people due to his striking blue eyes. These azure orbs set him apart, marking him as an outsider in their community. But Jonathon's quest for self-discovery takes him beyond the confines of the Valley.
The Red Mountains, a rugged and mysterious terrain, beckon to him. Here, amidst the craggy peaks, resides the enigmatic Dalriada —a mountain-dwelling people with their own secrets. Their horses are not mere steeds; they possess a majestic quality, and their powers are steeped in mysticism. But what intrigues Jonathon most is their shared trait: blue eyes, akin to his own.
As Jonathon ventures into the heart of the Red Mountains, he seeks answers. Who is he truly? What ancient lineage binds him to the Dalriada? The journey is not swift; it unfolds gradually, revealing layers of identity and heritage. Jonathon grapples with conflicting loyalties—the familiar Valley he calls home and the tantalizing allure of the Dalriada.
