'The greatest living author of epic fantasy' - Brandon Sanderson
'The finest in his field' - Tor.com 'Guy Gavriel Kay's A Brightness
Long Ago is a masterpiece; perhaps the finest work of one of the
world's greatest living storytellers' - Fantasy Book Review ***One
of Goodreads' Most Anticipated SFF Books of 2019*** Internationally
bestselling author Guy Gavriel Kay's latest work is set in a world
evoking early Renaissance Italy, with an extraordinary cast of
characters. In a chamber overlooking the nighttime waterways of a
maritime city, a man looks back on his youth and the people who
shaped his life. Danio Cerra's intelligence won him entry to a
renowned school, though he was only the son of a tailor. He took
service at the court of a ruling count - and soon learned why that
man was known as The Beast. Danio's fate changed the moment he
recognized Adria Ripoli as she entered the count's chambers one
night - intending to kill. Born to power, Adria had chosen a life
of danger - and freedom - instead. Other vivid figures share the
story: a healer determined to defy her expected lot; a charming,
frivolous son of immense wealth; a religious leader more decadent
than devout; and, affecting these lives and many more, two
mercenary commanders, whose rivalry puts a world in the balance.
Further praise for Guy Gavriel Kay 'Contemporary fiction's finest
fantasist' Tor.com 'History and fantasy rarely come together as
gracefully or readably as they do in the novels of Guy Gavriel Kay'
Washington Post 'One of the (if not the) premiere fantasists of our
time' The Financial Times 'Compulsively readable . . . Kay is a
global phenomenon . . . a storyteller on the grandest scale' Time
Magazine (Canada)
