All the Seas of the World
Guy Gavriel Kay
A small merchant ship sends two assassins ashore on a dark night – a young woman who has escaped servitude and is bent on revenge, and a man who as a boy was exiled with his family for their faith. This intimate and epic novel evokes a near-Renaissance world, and offers moving reflections on memory, fate, and power.

Written on the Dark
Guy Gavriel Kay
Kay’s latest fantastical/historical novel about power and the human need for art centres on the well-known tavern poet Thierry Villar, who, thanks to his quick wit, underworld connections, and background in law, is drawn into the rivalries and conflicts of the ambitious royals. Along the dangerous way, he meets his poetic equal, Marina di Seressa, the gender-fluid Gauvard Colle who is acquainted with the half-world, and many other fascinating characters.
