The Strong Breed
In a village that carries the old year out on the back of a chosen scapegoat, the choice falls on a defenceless boy, and Eman, a teacher from elsewhere and son of a line bred for exactly this office, cannot let it stand. Flashbacks open onto his father's village and the ritual he ran from. Ritual sacrifice examined without apology or condescension.
