Synopsis

Acclaimed author Guy Gavriel Kay has been honored with the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel (Ysabel) and the International Goliardos Award for his work in fantasy. Eight of the nine Palm provinces of the Peninsula have been overcome by warrior sorcerers Brandin and Alberico. But the sorcerers don't know that a small band of survivors is plotting their removal. With tensions mounting, the sorcerers become increasingly at odds as each decides where his own path-and that of the land-should truly lie. ". brilliant . rich in intrigue and subtlety . a gracefully plotted story. Highly recommended."-Library Journal

Tigana was one of the few remaining popular high fantasies on my tbr list that I haven’t read yet. I was glad when it was picked as the book of the month in my book club because I never got around to reading it. I wanted to buy the physical copy (I rarely do). It’s a good thing that I’ve only borrow......more
