With the help of a rescued duck, a three-legged skunk, a blind goat, and other unexpected allies, Teo and Esma must overcome obstacles - even death - to fulfill their impossible destiny. Against all odds, her caravan's Mistress of Destiny predicts that Teo and Esma will be longtime friends. And then one day, the mysterious young Esma, who calls herself the Gypsy Queen of Lightning, rolls into town like a fresh burst of color.
