Synopsis
They were the Finest Creations - mystically forged creatures of perfection sent by the creators to aid the Fallen (mankind) during their mortal existence. Though they resemble ordinary horses, they are highly intelligent, capable of communicating telepathically, and completely moral. They are assigned to bond with individuals of great potential and protect them from harm while guiding them along a path of virtue. This is how it has been for years unto creation. But then a young Finest is separated from its mentor before it has been invested with its assignment, the result of an ambush by evil forces bent on corrupting men. The young equine accepts the charge of caring for two orphans-not realizing that man's potential may rest in their future, and that the path forward is already being diverted by an evil avian mastermind whose manipulation of court politics and affairs of state might instigate a new dark age upon the light of civilization.

Review
Praise for "The Finest Creation" "Rabe's fun, galloping romp of a story launches a new fantasy series....Rabe (Redemption and other titles in the Dragonlance series) deftly puts some beguiling twists on the guardian-angel theme. The rearing steed on the jacket will signal young horse lovers that this is a book for them" --"Publishers Weekly""The author of several novels set in Wizards of the Coast's "Forgotten Realms" setting has created her own world and populated it with vibrant characters both human and animal" --"Library Journal""Jean Rabe has not only garnered many awards in the field of imaginative games, but she has also some dozen role-playing novels to her credit, plus numerous short stories and articles. Her store of knowledge concerning war (in all periods), strange civilizations, and magic-white and black-is indeed prodigious." --Andre Norton"Jean Rabe is a helluva storyteller"--Margaret Weis"Enjoyably entertaining..it is as if C.S. Lewis had decided to write "Black Beauty" as a fantasy." --Mel Odom, Alex Award-winning author of" The Rover"
