Description
"Ride hard, swing hard, and take out as many of those creepy critters as you can."
Twelve
year old Matt Del Toro is the greenest greenhorn in his family's
centuries-old business: riding down and destroying wolf-like monsters,
known as skinners. Now, with those creatures multiplying, both in number
and ferocity, Matt must saddle up and match his father's skills at
monster whacking. Odds of doing that? Yeah, about a trillion to one.
Because Matt's father is the legendary Javier Del Toro--hunter, scholar,
and a true caballero: a gentleman of the horse.
Luckily, Matt
has twelve hundred pounds of backup in his best friend--El Cid, an
Andalusian war stallion with the ability of human speech, more fighting
savvy than a medieval knight, and a heart as big and steadfast as the
Rocky Mountains.
Serious horse power.
Those skinners don't stand a chance.
A Note From the Publisher
Illustrated by Risa Rodil.

“… a wildly original, pulse-pounding tale of a boy carrying on his
family’s legacy of protecting their rural community from bloodthirsty,
supernatural skinners. Medieval Spanish myth meets the Hispanic culture
of rugged southern Colorado to create a captivating story of modern-day
knights.”
—Laura Resau, Américas Award-Winning author of What the Moon Saw and The Lightning Queen
“A
rip-roaring monster slaying adventure with heart and humor, cleverly
situated in the contemporary mountains and canyons of southern Colorado.
This fresh and fun exploration of tough familial relationships, modern
knights, and talking horses is sure to appeal to fans of The Ranger’s
Apprentice and equine enthusiasts.”
—Todd Mitchell, author of The Last Panther and The Traitor King
