And then there's Luis, the attractive horseman and elite rider, who suddenly appears at the Leierhof with his gelding Fango. It's no wonder that Vera's partner Gerson is jealous. Just at this moment, dark clouds gather over Vera. Soon she receives threatening emails from a Ligue pur Sang, demanding that she keep her hands off the mixed breeding of her mare with the pure Freiberg breed. In her hour of danger, Luis proves to be a true friend. Until Paletti, the breeding stallion, collapses dead and Vera's mare falls seriously ill. Vera sets off for the wintry Jura, on a journey that will shatter her structured life.
