Summary

A young huntsman is helped by a golden mare when he tries to perform the seemingly impossible feats commanded by the Tsar. Brave deeds and wondrous magic come together in a lush retelling of a classic Russian folktale. A young huntsman named Alexi finds a Golden Mare, who pledges eternal loyalty in exchange for sparing her life. With the mare's help, Alexi becomes the Tsar's best huntsman, and she helps him with several impossible tasks. But when Alexi strives to win the hand of Yelena the Fair, will he be able to use his own powers to save himself and his love?
