The Young Black Stallion (2011)
“At first he felt panic rise within him, then quickly anger took its place. He knew the reason for being left to fend for himself against the tribe of Abu Já Kub ben Ishak. The old man of legend was dead, and Ibn al Khaldun had decided Rashid was to be sacrificed. His death might be enough to placate the rival chieftain and perhaps avoid the blood feud that could last for years between the two tribes. Raids were accepted by the law of the desert, but no blood was to be shed except in cases of ex...treme necessity. Death called for death. Blood for blood. Dam butlub dam. His blood for that of the old man’s. In the name of Allah, not if he could help it!
What about the death of the black colt? Would even his own death, if he were caught, satisfy Abu Ishak? He doubted it. Furthermore, he had no intention of being part of this exchange. He was not going to remain in this rooftop of the world. On foot he would find his way back to the desert, but not to the tribe of Ibn al Khaldun. No longer would he be part of such a vengeful, unfaithful tribe.MoreLess
