The Rose Legacy by Jessica Day George

4.0

The Rose Legacy appears (to me) to be the first in a series featuring Anthea, who has a way with horses, in a land where they have been forbidden and long thought extinct. Anthea, raised as an orphan and shipped from home to home, is sent off to family in the wild lands outside of a huge wall 'protecting the kingdom.' She discovers a land with mysterious horses and forgotten family, and has to re-think what really is true and real versus what she has been taught.

The book is a mixture of fantasy and coming of age, with steampunk elements, a sprinkling of magic, and heaps of animal friendship. Great for middle readers, and fans of Jessica Day George's other work.
