5.0 out of 5 stars The Mark of the Horse Lord, Sep 7 2007

By	K. Leeson (Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Mark Of the Horse Lord (Paperback)

I read this as a child, and re-read, and re-read it... It is a really beautiful piece of work. Red Phaedrus has a colourful past that includes the killing of his best friend for survival. He becomes a con artist posing as the Horse Lord of the Dalriads. The role of the Horse Lord is one of personal sacrifice for the good of the people. Will the man who killed his own friend do what is best for the tribe, or will he look out for his own interests?

With battles, swordfights, and chariots by day and intrigue by night, this story will keep you on the edge of your seat. I would recommend this book to any young adult wanting to read something other than Harry Potter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Little know treasure..., Sep 18 2004

By	Kerri-Ann Down (Ontario) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mark Of The Horse Lord (Paperback)

I stumbled upon this book in a local highschool and have since purchased a copy of my own. It is shamful that such an excellent book is currently out of print.
The book follows the life of a gladiator slave, Red Phaedrus, who takes on the role of Prince of the Dalriads through a scheme to regain power from the Royal Woman of the Caledones.
This book hovers on the border of being epic with many rituals and battles being described in detail. The illustrations are not of the traditional form, yet their stark beauty helps provide a unique understanding of the story.
I would readily recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in fictional history - particularly of Northern England and Ireland.
