title: Fireblood: a Legend of the White Dragon novel
author:  Melanie Nilles 
description: As a horseperson of nearly three decades, I've always wanted to write a book with a horse featured as a character. This is the fourth book of the Legend of the White Dragon epic, which takes place during the three main books (Legends, Legacies, and Destiny).<br /> <br /> I chose Alo's name because it is Hopi for "spirit guide" and that is his purpose for Ayali, his rider, who must come to terms with who she really is on the inside before it destroys her world.
