Siren's Song, Paperback

In the shade of the Giant's Throne Mountain, and on the coast of the Indian Ocean, Port St. Christopher is home to Apley Towers; a riding school for girls and boys, young or old, who learn what it means to be a true horse rider. Trixie has outgrown her stable horse, Slow-Moe, and realises she has to put the past behind her, and find a new horse to ride. But after a terrifying incident with an advanced horse, she begins to question whether moving on is worth the risk. With a little help from the kodas, Trixie learns that she must face her fears. But will she find her perfect horse? And if she does, will riding ever be the same for her again? Apley Towers is a continuing twelve book horse and pony series set in South Africa. These coming of age stories have a strong focus on close friendships and are ideal for readers aged 11+. Shortlisted for the People's Book Prize 2017.

Myra King ========= Myra King was born in Johannesburg, South Africa. After spending time in the USA, she finally settled in England, with her husband, young son and border collie. Despite her enduring love affair with her adopted country, Myra retains a link to her motherland as a place with a lot of stories to tell, and one of the main inspirations in her writing. After a serious fall from her horse at 19, Myra knew she would never be able to get into a saddle again, so she switched her focus to her writing.
