Everyone

their story. Sarah Tolmie’s All the Horses of Iceland weaves their
mystical origin into a saga for the modern age. Filled with the magic and
darkened whispers of a people on the cusp of major cultural change, All the
Horses of Iceland tells the tale of a Norse trader, his travels through
Central Asia, and the ghostly magic that followed him home to the land of fire,
stone, and ice. His search for riches will take him from Helmgard, through
Khazaria, to the steppes of Mongolia, where he will barter for horses and
return with much, much more.
All
the Horses of Iceland
is a delve into the secret, imagined history of Iceland's unusual horses,
brought to life by an expert storyteller.
FORMAT/INFO: All the Horses of
Iceland is a novella of 104 pages, without chapter breaks. The story
of Eyvind and the Horse with No Name is set in the 9th
Century, and is told in the third-person by Jór, approximately three
hundred years after its occurrence. Short first-person interjections by the
narrator occur amid the main tale.
