Tigana (10th Anniversary Edition)

by Guy Gavriel Kay

Tigana (10th Anniversary Edition) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This is that rare, spellbinding, novel in which myth comes alive and magic reaches out to touch us. Tigana is the magical story of a beleaguered land struggling to be free. It is the tale of a people so cursed by the black sorcery of a cruel despotic king that even the name of their once-beautiful homeland cannot be spoken or remembered...

But years after the devastation, a handful of courageous men and women embark upon a dangerous crusade to overthrow their conquerors and bring back to the dark world the brilliance of a long-lost name...Tgana.

Against the magnificently rendered background of a world both sensuous and barbaric, this sweeping epic of a passionate people pursuing their dream is breathtaking in its vision, changing forever the boundaries of fantasy fiction.

Review:

"[A] brilliant single-volume epic fantasy, rich in intrigue and subtlety. Memorable characters and cultures add depth to a gracefully plotted story." Library Journal

Review:

"Tolkien protege Kay's brilliant and complex portrayal of good and evil, high and low, will draw readers to this consuming epic." Publishers Weekly

Review:

"[A] bravura performance, nearly impossible to put down." Kirkus Reviews

Review:

"One of the best fantasy novels I have read." Anne McCaffrey

Synopsis:

With a new introduction by the acclaimed bestselling author, this tenth anniversary edition of a fantasy classic is the sweeping tale of sorcery, magic, politics, war, love, betrayal, and survival.
