title: A Season of Swans // A Wild Legacy
author: De Blasis, Celeste
description: After the firestorm of violence and tragedy that severed North from South and brother from brother, the Falconer dynasty--like the nation itself-- needs time to heal, to rebuild, to rise from the ashes. Waiting in the wings is a new generation of Falconers, ready to carry the family's grand dreams forward. Gincie, Alexandria Carrington Falconer's spirited granddaughter; Travis, Gincie's beloved husband; and their children Lexy, Tay and Kace will lead the way...from the burned-out plantations of the defeated South to the bloodied plains of the West during the last days of Indian resistance, from California's golden Sonoma Valley to the Victorian splendor of racing seasons at Saratoga Springs. Boldly they will risk all to battle injustice and ignorance; defy all to preserve the fortunes of the renowned horse farm, Wild Swan; and in the end, gamble all to produce a phenomenal colt whose run for glory will be a rendezvous with destiny.
