This is a separate storyline until Flame and the Black meet in two books - The Black Stallion and Flame, and The Black Stallion Challenged. Along with the Black, the series introduces a second stallion that is considered the Black's only equal - The Island Stallion, Flame. The subsequent novels are about the Black himself and the stallion's three main offspring: his firstborn colt, Satan his second colt, Bonfire and his firstborn filly, Black Minx. The first book in the series, published in 1941, is titled The Black Stallion. Shaytan (under various transliterations) is the Arabic word for "devil". Later books in the series furnish the Black's backstory. The series chronicles the story of a Sheikh's prized stallion after he comes into Alec's possession through a ship journey gone awry. The Black Stallion, known as the Black or Shêtân, is the title character from author Walter Farley's bestselling series about the Arab stallion and his young owner, Alec Ramsay.
