Pegasus | Danielle Steel | KharidobechoBooks

On the cusp of the Second World War in Europe, Nicolas von Bingen and Alex von Hemmerle are two aristocratic, widowed men raising their children on neighboring estates in Germany. Their peaceful life is shattered when a long-buried secret reveals Nicolas's partial Jewish ancestry, leaving his family vulnerable to the rising tide of Nazism. Advised to flee immediately, Nicolas and his sons leave everything behind except for a precious gift from Alex: eight purebred horses, including two stunning Lipizzaners. Crossing the Atlantic, their survival hinges on securing a job with the famous Ringling Brothers Circus in Florida. Under the alias Nick Bing, Nicolas and his prize white stallion, Pegasus, become the centerpiece of the spectacular show, while his heart is unexpectedly captured by a graceful high-wire walker. Spanning half a century, this sweeping historical novel is a powerful chronicle of sacrifice, rebirth, and the unbreakable bonds of family.
