Angel of the Abyss

This is a short story in the The Wolfcaller Chronicles collection.
The colt's birth was long and taxing, almost costing the life of his mother, and from the moment of his first breath, no part of his life would be easy. In a society where males are considered to be of lesser value than females, the young colt must prove his worth, not only to his herd, but also to himself. As he grows into a stallion, he tackles increasingly difficult tasks, pushing himself to his very limits, determined to change a future that feels set in stone.
This is the story of Jori the kentaur, before he meets the one who takes him further than he would ever go on his own, and changes his life, and his fate, forever.
