The People Of Horse

For thousands of years Ozlin's people have traveled the great open plains with their herds and their dogs. Their animals are everything to them. They are their brothers, their friends and their sustenance. Their relationships with their dogs and their horses are deeper than most people's relationships with their families and there is nothing they love more than being free atop the backs of their horses.It's that unique lifestyle that Ozlin has been invited to lecture on at the region's Territorial College.Kiff's people are fishermen on the northern coast but their village and everyone in it is destroyed by raiders, leaving Kiff an orphan. Through sheer luck and his own innate intelligence Kiff survives, eventually gaining a place at the Territorial College. His early life though has left him with a crippling fear of going beyond the stone walls that protect him and he's happy to stay within them.Until he meets Oz.
