The Mark of Horse Lord
by Scott O'Dell Rosemary Sutcliff"There was a smell of blood mingling with the smell of burning that still clung about scorched timber and blackened thatch, and a great wailing rose from the watching crowd. The old High Priest dipped a finger in the blood and made a sign with it on Phaedrus's forehead, above the Mark of the Horse Lord." So began the ceremony that was to make young Phaedrus, ex-slave and gladiator, Horse Lord of the Dalriadain. Phaedrus had come a long way since the fight in the arena that gained him his freedom. He had left behind his old Roman life and identity and had entered another, more primitive, world--that of the British tribes in the far north. In this world of superstition and ancient ritual, of fierce loyalties and intertribal rivalry, Phaedrus found companionship and love, and something more--a purpose and a meaning to his life as he came fully to understand the significance of the Mark of the Horse Lord. First published in 1965 but long out of print, The Mark of the Horse Lord has been acclaimed by many readers as the finest of Rosemary Sutcliff's many novels, imparting true insight into the nature of leadership, identity, heroism, loyalty, and sacrifice.

by Avner GoldThe Marrano Prince, the eighth volume in the continuing Ruach Ami Series, takes place and Spain two centuries after the establishment of the Spanish Inquisition and the Expulsion of the Jews. Deprived of the talents of its Jews, Spain has gone into steep decline, and France and England have emerged as dominant powers in Europe. As the story unfolds, Spain and France are on the verge of a war in the Netherlands. A minister of the Council of State, who is also a secret Jew, is sent on a high-level diplomatic mission to the Netherlands, which turns into an unforeseen journey of discovery. When he finally returns to Spain, he finds his family has fallen under a cloud of suspicion, but before he can escape with his family he feels honor-bound to fulfill his duties to the king. In the meantime, he is being silently stalked by the evil confessor of the king and his minions in the Holy Office of the Inquisition. Before he realizes what is happening, a net of entrapment has closed around him. Danger and a sense of foreboding purveyed the pages of the gripping book. The story moves inexorably through the halls of power in Madrid, naval battles on the high seas, the marrano community of Amsterdam, the dungeons of the Inquisition in Toledo, the bullfights of Pamplona and across the length and breath of sun-drenched Spain. It is a story of courage and valor, of twists within twists peopled with colorful villains and heroes. In his inimitable fashion, Avner Gold has woven a great deal of historical information and a sense of the times into the fabric of the story itself. However, an extensive historical essay, entitled The Rise and Fall of Spain and It's Jews, has also been added to this book for the benefit of those readers who would like a better understanding of the evolution of the Jewish community of Spain and the origins and methods of the infamous Spanish Inquisition.
