Thanks go out to James, who let me play in her world, and to rebecca, who betaed for me. All mistakes remain mine--especially since there are a couple of things I should have run by her again, and didn't.

This series is set in the same universe as the Horses of Different Colors series by James Walkswithwind and Wolfling, which you can find at http://gila.fakingsanity.net/horses.html -- I have, however, written it with the intention that it will still make complete sense to people who haven't read that series.
