Serendipity's mom died, and around the time she did she starting noticing... horses. Not real ones, just statues. The horses had died out with the Gases.

She finds out it has a map that could lead to horses in Wales. On her trip a friend The Professor helps her, and a boy named Tab with a dog named Mouse. With the Minster and his men after her, can Serendipity get out of Lahn Dan? Can she find horses or did they all die out? This was a very good book. And I recommend it for 5th to 8th graders,

Will she find the last horses on earth?
Serendipity lives inside a walled city. Before her mother died, she gave Seren an old figurine of a horse. Horses no longer exist in Serendipity’s world, but when she discovers a map that may lead her to real horses, she starts on a journey that will take her far from everything she knows. Traveling with an orphan boy, Tab, and his beloved dog, she's soon on the run from a powerful and dangerous man who will do anything to make sure Serendipity never leaves the walled city again.
Zillah Bethell’s middle-grade fiction debut A Whisper of Horses is original, breathtaking, adventurous, and moving. It is a story of friendship, perseverance, and resilience that readers won’t soon forget.
