Kay ( The Fionavar Tapestry ) brings to life a layered, pragmatic world of magic and difficult choices, where
brutality and beauty coexist. Eight of the nine provinces of the Peninsula of the Palm, on a world with two
moons, have fallen to the warrior sorcerers Brandin of Ygrath and Alberico of Barbadior. Brandin’s younger
son is slain in a battle with the principality of Tigana, which the grief-stricken sorcerer then destroys.
Years later, a small band of survivors, led by Alessan, last prince of Tigana’s royal house, wages psychological
warfare, planting seeds for the overthrow of the two tyrants. At the center of these activities are Devin,
a gifted young singer; Catriana, a young woman pursued by suspicions of her family’s guilt; and Duke Sandre
d’Astibar, a wily resistance leader thought dead. Meanwhile, at Brandin’s court, Dianora, his favorite concubine
and–unknown to anyone, another survivor of Tigana–struggles between her growing love for the often gentle
tyrant and her desire for vengeance. Gradually the scene is set for both conquerors to destroy each other and
free a land. Tolkien protege Kay’s brilliant and complex portrayal of good and evil, high and low, will draw
readers to this consuming epic.
