Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A heartfelt heroine's journey, sprinkled with nuggets of timeless Buddhist wisdom, .” Tibet, 1285 – Hidden away in her grandmother’s monastery after her mother’s tragic death, Nordun’s life has been shrouded in secrets. Born into a family of royal horse masters, she was divined to become the first ever female horse master—but that destiny was never shared with her. Now the karmic winds are blowing, and Nordun is riding home where she’s challenged by friends and foes to do the impossible—claim her heritage to the stables. The last thing Nordun wants is to tame a feral horse… but if she refuses, her cherished childhood home could be lost. Desperately unprepared and armed with only her compassionate heart, Nordun ventures into the far and rugged unknown. Will she fulfill the ancient divination and turn the tables on her family’s fate, or return to her sisters in solitude to serve all sentient beings as has been her aspiration for most of her life? Aided by unconventional allies, Nordun soon learns that you never have to question your path, as long as you’re true to your wild and tender heart. Join Nordun on her reluctant quest through the turbulent times of thirteenth-century Tibet with its royal clans, Mongolian invaders, smugglers and Silk Road traders, to the places where demons lurk, and through the trials which afflict every family and human life—courage and cowardice, love and lust, loyalty and treachery, and cruel endings which do not always sprout into the new beginnings we desire them to be. The Horse Master’s Daughter is Book One in the historical fiction series Nordun’s Way, and can be read as a stand-alone novel.

Then a strange group of pale, foreign men make their way among the settlements, asking questions about hidden cities of gold.

With Coyote the trickster for a guide, their mythic adventure will take these children of the plains across the boundary between life and death itself before they are able to confront the danger that threatens to engulf them all.

Download or read book The Horse Dealer s Daughter written by David Herbert Lawrence and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-08 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Well, Mabel, and what are you going to do with yourself?' asked Joe, with foolish flippancy. He felt quite safe himself. Without listening for an answer, he turned aside, worked a grain of tobacco to the tip of his tongue, and spat it out. He did not care about anything, since he felt safe himself.The three brothers and the sister sat round the desolate breakfast table, attempting some sort of desultory consultation. The morning's post had given the final tap to the family fortunes, and all was over. The dreary dining-room itself, with its heavy mahogany furniture, looked as if it were waiting to be done away with.But the consultation amounted to nothing. There was a strange air of ineffectuality about the three men, as they sprawled at table, smoking and reflecting vaguely on their own condition. The girl was alone, a rather short, sullen-looking young woman of twenty-seven. She did not share the same life as her brothers. She would have been good-looking, save for the impassive fixity of her face, 'bull-dog', as her brothers called it.There was a confused tramping of horses' feet outside. The three men all sprawled round in their chairs to watch. Beyond the dark holly-bushes that separated the strip of lawn from the highroad, they could see a cavalcade of shire horses swinging out of their own yard, being taken for exercise. This was the last time. These were the last horses that would go through their hands. The young men watched with critical, callous look. They were all frightened at the collapse of their lives, and the sense of disaster in which they were involved left them no inner freedom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the phenomenally bestselling author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time comes Mark Haddon’s first collection of poems. That Mark Haddon’s first book after The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time is a book of poetry may surprise his many fans; that it is also one of such virtuosity and range will not. The Talking Horse and the Sad Girl and the Village Under the Sea reveals a poet of great versatility and formal talent. All the gifts so admired in Haddon’s prose are in strong evidence here – the humanity, the dark humour, and the uncanny ventriloquism – but Haddon is also a writer of considerable seriousness, lyric power, and surreal invention. This book will consolidate his reputation as one of the most imaginative writers in contemporary literature.
