On A Pale Horse

War threatens Salsabil's family. Drought and raiders may take all they have, and though Salsabil's brothers are ready to fight, none of them know what they're getting into.

But she has seen a wild horse in the dunes, and though her people think her mad, she feels the beginning of hope: for there is a horn on the horse's forehead . . .
