OLDER FICTION
Sedgwick, Marcus

The Dark Horse

(2) YA Setting: prehistoric, mythic, bleak. Characters: the members of two tribes--the "Storn," settled in their village and their ways, and the fierce, nomadic "Dark Horse." Central to the action are the Storn boy Sigurd, whose account alternates with that of an omniscient narrator, and his adopted sister, "Mouse." The alternating point of view is effective, and the events are gripping: they'll hold readers to the end of this grim adventure.
