That pitch-black warmblood mare was born to excel in the show jumping arena, with generations of prestigious, top-ranking champions in her bloodline. Kira's parents had the horse, with the registered name Break of Dawn, imported here from out of the country—information I know courtesy of occupying myself with sifting through all of the barn owner's records…when I may or may not have been on a requested mission to find a file for another boarder's horse instead. But I couldn't help it, really. Because from the moment she'd arrived at the tiny, family-run farm I'd ridden at since I was old enough to talk, Kira Lian had always intrigued me.
