Dark Horse Series

Hunnuli are a breed of wild horse magically created to partner and protect good magic wielders. They are huge, powerful, black and elegant, with a white lightning-bolt marking on their shoulder. Held in high regard even when humans forget their original purpose, the Hunnuli are immune to magic, fully sentient, and communicate telepathically with their chosen humans. They are intolerant of evil, and will fight to the death rather than serve an evil master.
