Only Steve Duncan and his friend Pitch know of the valley hidden behind the high cliffs of the remote Caribbean Azul Island. And only the two of them know of the beautiful, purebred horses that live there, under the watchful eye of the great red stallion, Flame. But when Pitch’s half-brother Tom learns of this lost paradise, he will stop at nothing to make it his own, even if he has to destroy it.

Another fantastic novel in The Black Stallion series by Walter Farley. We again leave the story of Alec and the Black for a while and visit Steve and Flame at the Island of Azul. Tom Steve’s half Brother turns out to be the perfect antagonist in this story.

Once again, Farley adds something fresh into a series that shows no end by this point. With a passion and a love of horses, anyone can truly enjoy this series. You will enjoy the descriptions of the beautiful island as well as the stunning purebred Arabian horses. How they ever got onto this island is anyone’s guess but their bloodlines have remained pure because of it and make the story even more intriguing to read.
