The Lost Legend Trilogy is story of faith, hope and love. It is a tale that carries us aboard God's beloved horse to the birth of His Son, and then through the life and times of Jesus Christ. It is a fictional odyssey overflowing with the most important and basic of all truths.
This is a story about perseverance, a message from God that He is always with us, and that we never need to lose heart or give up. It is a story of overcoming, of surviving the deepest sorrows to emerge with faith, strength and determination.
Book One of the Lost Legend Trilogy ~ J. L. Hardesty
On a journey toward destiny, Michael, the son of a Magi, loses both of his parents—his mother to a terrible plague, his father to unjust persecution. For many years, the brokenhearted boy lives with his mother’s people, the finest horsemen of their time. With these nomads, he becomes a great horseman.
One dark night, Michael learns in a dream that he is being called by the One God—about whom his father taught him—to embark upon a pilgrimage into the unknown. He obeys the call despite his fears.
Understanding only that danger lies ahead, the handsome teenager says another sad farewell in a life too short for so many partings. Then, accompanied by a band of unseen angels, Michael sets off aboard a loyal mare with his supplies packed carefully on the back of an aged war-horse.
Some days into the journey, when the wondrous star that his father once vowed to follow appears on the horizon, Michael’s expedition becomes a passionate quest for reunion. Navigating by the light of the newly visible celestial guide, the boy and his horses continue on a miraculous odyssey toward a future that will alter the history of the world, forever.
From the Back Cover
Listen closely. Do you hear it? Softly, softly it calls—the song of the horse, echoing down through the ages—forever alive in the spirits of those whom God has called to love this noble creature. If the melody beckons you, as it has so many, perhaps you, too, will carry on the horseman’s tradition as you read aloud to your children, and to your children’s children, THE LOST LEGEND OF THE FIRST CHRISTMAS.
Praise for The Legend
“This is a wonderful legend, so carefully described and lovingly unfolded. It weaves the author’s talent, her love, and her faith together, producing a unique garment which can wrap many a chilly soul in the warmth of a wonderful world with the God who created it, and us.” -
Monsignor George M. Schroeder
“This is THE perfect Christmas gift for anyone who ever loved or dreamed of loving a horse. It carries the reader beyond the confines of today’s world, back to that place in time where man’s partnership with the horse began. Even as the story reminds us of the Event it celebrates, it illuminates the great blessing God bestowed when He gave us the horse.” - Kathy Knill Meyer, Executive Vice President in charge of Marketing for the United States Equestrian Foundation
