FROM THE BACK:
"I do not know who first told me my mother was a witch and my father the wanton fool who lost his honour and his clan's and, in the end, his life, by marrying her. No doubt it was my grandfather -he'd been knocking the tale of it into me ever since.

All his life, Arawn has heard the stories: how the Clan-lord Cernach drove the Horse-people back to the islands in the Wild Sea, so that all that remained of them were memories and talk -of figures glimpsed by moonlight, of shape-shifters, and of a white horse which runs in darkness; how Roech fell in love with a beautiful priestess of the Horse-people, and brought her back to Nab Dubh as his wife; how it brought disgrace on them all, and sent the orphan Arawn and his grandfather into the empty marshlands.

Now, twelve years later, his uncle Mhorged has sent for Arawn and he returns to the stronghold of Nam Dubh. But, set apart from his fellows and suffering all the cruelties and indignities heaped upon him by the vengeful inhabitants, Arawn's sense of isolation deepens -until, at last, he feels compelled to search out his roots with the Horse-people."

3 out of 10

Went to read this before shipping it out on BookMooch - but couldn't get past the prologue, wasn't in the mood for anything that started out with child sacrifice in the first few pages. Hoping its new owner in the USA likes it better...
