    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.
