Born during a violent spring tide, a copper-coated foal named Liberty enters a world of shifting sands and ancient stories. While her spirit is as restless as the Atlantic, the elders of the herd carry a weight she isn't yet ready to bear. Through the lyrical oral histories of the mare Autumn Glory, Liberty discovers the harrowing truth of her ancestors, Don Christo and Magda, who survived a Spanish shipwreck to claim this rugged coast. Initially resisting the 'dusty' traditions of her lineage, Liberty prefers the salt spray and the company of her friends, Finn and Pip. But when a catastrophic hurricane threatens to submerge their sanctuary, the time for play is over. To lead her band to safety, Liberty must bridge the gap between her fierce independence and the collective wisdom of those who came before her. Tides of Assateague is a moving saga of resilience and belonging, proving that even the wildest heart finds its greatest strength in the threads of the past. As the storm clears, a new guardian rises to ensure the spirit of the wild horse remains unbroken.
