When tragedy strikes his family, young Mark Benton is thrown upon the mercy of his enigmatic, prickly Aunt Fiona, who shares her home on a magical island off the coast of Nova Scotia with a herd of enchanting, graceful wild ponies. For 20 years, Sable Island has been Fiona's refuge from her own secret tragedy but she doesn't seem to have any mercy to spare, only rules. Mark is not to call her Aunt. He must not tell lies.
