I have a big soft spot for The Horse Lord, and since I was feeling ill and sorry for myself over the past few days I decided that it was an ideal time to revisit Peter Morwood's sprawling world of demons and warlords. I probably haven't read this for about 15 years, but it's still a corker of a story. Highborn Aldric begins a quest to avenge his family, a quest that includes sorcery, monsters and bloodshed. Will he succeed? Of course he will, but it won't be as straightforward as he expects and he faces treachery and otherworldy forces at every turn. (less)
