She was not alone... Jinny's eyes shot open, and blinded by moonlight, she knew at once that the Red Horse had awoken. Looking over to the opposite wall, she felt the weight of its gaze. She lay there for long minutes, watching it, feeling, as she had often felt before, as though it might spring from the walls at any moment to leap into her room...

"What do you want? Where have you been?"

The mural of the Red Horse and Jinny have been inextricably linked ever since she first arrived at Finmory, its ancient and mystical power drawing her beyond the safe, everyday confines of her life. Silent and sleeping for two long years, now it has suddenly woken again.

Why? Can Jinny find the strength to do what it asks of her, or will she sever the bond between them forever? Jinny's world is changing... can she make the right choice before it's too late?

Dream of the Dance is a continuation of Patricia Leitch's Jinny at Finmory stories, and just like the originals, it doesn't shy away from the stark, sometimes painful, realities of life.
