Abstract

This is a tale of horses and horsemen, and the sewing of blankets and bonds. In a land of riven stone, scorched and barbed like the spines of dragons, raised in homage to the sun. It is a tale of encounters with monks and shepherds, garbed in dusty cloaks. And dancing the seasons of reaping and sowing with village women in ancestral robes.
