Sam discovers the Phantom's lead mare injured and held by the government. Desperate to free her, Sam faces a dilemma: release the mare and risk the herd's safety in harsh winter, or leave her behind? As the clock ticks, Sam must weigh her love for the horses against the dangers they face. Will she find a way to protect them all, or will her actions lead to greater peril? Dive into this gripping tale of courage and loyalty set against the breathtaking backdrop of the American West.

From the publisher

The seventh book in the beloved middle grade Phantom Stallion series about a girl, her horse, and the beauty of the American West returns with a brand-new, stunning cover and bonus material! Perfect for fans of Canterwood Crest and classic horse stories like Black Beauty and My Friend Flicka. The Phantom’s lead mare is missing from the herd, and Sam’s worried she may have been captured. When Sam finds the mare safe but in government custody, she’s desperate to set her free. But the horse is badly injured, and setting her free on the range could slow down the mare’s entire herd, putting them at risk in the dangerous winter months. How far should Sam go to help the horses she loves?
