Blackthorn Farm

On a brilliant London morning, Rupert Dale faces two verdicts: the result of his third examination—and the fate of every penny he has wagered on a horse he has never seen.

Rupert’s hopes are caught between the city and Blackthorn Farm, his family’s struggling home on the Dartmoor moors. His father has spent years sacrificing to educate him; now debts, a possible failure, and his love for Ruby Strode press in from every side. As the great race at Epsom begins, Rupert insists Paulus cannot lose—but if the horse does, the cost may reach far beyond his own future. Can one race keep ruin from his family’s door?
