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.

Story
Crispin is a mosaicist, a layer of bright tiles. Still grieving for the family he lost to the plaque, he lives only for his arcane craft. But an imperial summons from Valerius the Trakesian to Sarantium, the most magnificent place in the world, is difficult to resist. In a world half-wild and tangled with magic, a journey to Sarantium means a walk into destiny. Bearing with him a deadly secret and a Queen's seductive promise, guarded only by his own wits and a talisman from an alchemist's treasury, Crispin sets out for the fabled city. Along the way he will encounter a great beast.

Evocative Read.
The novel is brought satisfyingly to life by the Narrator's performance.
There are some discordant pronunciations to this reader's ear, but they are comfortably surpassed by the overall performance which evokes time, place and characters beautifully.

A rich tapestry expertly woven
Not as perfect as The Lions of Al Rasan but still a wonderful book, and a very different take on the medieval world. Art and song mingle with rivalry and the horror of war. Women versus men. Art versus war. Love versus hatred. There are troubadours and priestesses and assassins aplenty. As usual Kay weaves a tapestry rich in beauty and heartbreak but also one where hope is the most prevalent and persistent thread. I thought the audible version was brilliant with Euan Morton not only narrating the story with perfection but also singing the songs beautifully!
