Join Inky, Ebony, and Sierra on a magical journey through the Basque Country, where ancient language, mountain legends, sea roads, and hidden folklore wait around every bend.

In this heartwarming middle-grade travel adventure, Inky, a curious black Manx cat with no tail, travels with her clever feline friend Ebony and their loyal black Labrador companion, Sierra. Guided by Lur, a sturdy Basque pottoka pony, the trio explores the mysterious and beautiful world of Euskal Herria, a land of old paths, powerful stories, and unforgettable lessons.

From the mountain doorway of Roncesvalles to the witch caves of Zugarramurdi, the travelers discover a land where every name has meaning and every place remembers. They meet lamiak by the water, hear bells wake the earth in winter villages, follow carnival laughter through Lantz, and learn the secret of Basajaun, the Lord of the Forest. Along the way, they discover the beauty of Euskara, the ancient Basque language, and learn why words, songs, and stories can keep a culture alive.

Their journey continues through the dramatic flysch cliffs of the Basque Coast, the storm-wrapped slopes of Mount Anboto, and the farmhouse doors protected by the eguzkilore, the legendary sun-flower of Amalur. In Gernika, the Tree of Gernika teaches them that promises can grow strong when kept by many. At last, the trio reaches the sea roads of the old Basque whalers, where harbors, boats, storms, and a serpent-shaped shadow beneath the waves remind them that brave journeys begin with respect for what is larger than you.

Filled with Basque mythology, legends, folklore, cultural traditions, animal guides, gentle humor, and meaningful life lessons, this enchanting children's chapter book is perfect for readers who enjoy magical travel stories, talking animal adventures, world folklore, mythology for kids, and stories about courage, kindness, curiosity, friendship, and respect.
