Hopkinson deftly brings to life the thrilling true story of the

Vienna and its beloved Lipizzaner horses during World War II, perfect

As glass shattered around them in Vienna, an ordinary-looking
horse named Nero and his stable mates, the dancing white Lipizzaner
stallions of the famed Spanish Riding School, quiver and shake
in fear. But they do not panic. Somehow, they sense the school's
director, dedicated horseman Alois Podhajsky, will do everything
he can to keep them safe.
It will take a daring band of American soldiers - along
with horse lovers from opposing sides - to pull off a secret
mission to save the Lipizzaners from certain destruction. United
by their love of horses, these unsung heroes risked their lives
to preserve the majesty of this rare breed for generations to come.
