"Sunflowers"

The “Sunflowers” series is the 12th Bella Sara series. It was first introduced in March 2010 as an international release.

The story of "Sunflowers" is a direct continuation of "Bella's Ball" and sends Emma Rolan into action on her first Valkyrie quest.

Story
The story Emma and the Lost Herds was released on the Classic Bella Sara Website and details the complete story of "Sunflowers".

The wicked sorceress and Sara's sworn enemy, Ivenna, intrudes upon the Bella's Ball to steal the magical pendants given to the herd founders by the Valkyrie, Sigga, years ago. With those pendants, Ivenna could control all the horses in North of North! Determined to find the pendant of the lost Herd Sunflower first, Emma Rolan, Colm, and Deru go to the Pool of Reflection where they meet Johan Bloom, Keeper of the Sunstone.

The group travels across North of North, outrunning Ivenna and her wolves, and find the five missing pieces of the Sunstone being guarded by Fiona, Jewel, Nike, Thunder, and Dowager. When all the pieces are joined, a rainbow appears and leads Emma and friends to Petalhome. Emma places the completed Sunstone around a giant sunflower and it transforms into Sunflower herself! The story ends with the members of Herd Sunflower finally returning home after a thousand years of hiding.
