   Summary

   "There's an old ranch down in South Carolina called Lightning River. It's not a working ranch anymore, more of a small horse farm. The woman who owns it rehabilitates thoroughbreds and occasionally, humans."

   I stare. "What the fuck?" I don't think I could sound more unimpressed if I tried. What on earth is he on about? He wants me to visit a farm?

   Or: Xaden Riorson is trying to avoid a medical discharge. Violet Sorrengail is just trying to keep her horses fed and maybe help a few people along the way. Love ensues.
