- Written on the dark / by Kay, Guy Gavriel,author.;
"Thierry Villar is a well-known -- even notorious -- tavern poet, intimately familiar with the rogues and shadows of that world, but not at all with courts and power. He is an unlikely person, despite his quickness, to be swept into the deadly contests of ambitious royals, assassins, and invading armies. But he is indeed drawn into all these things on a savagely cold night in his beloved city of Orane. And so Thierry must use all the intelligence and charm he can muster as power struggles merge with a decades-long war to bring his country to the brink of destruction. As he does, he meets his poetic equal in an aristocratic woman and is drawn to more than one unsettling person with a connection to the world beyond this one. He also crosses paths with an extraordinary young woman driven by voices within to try to heal the ailing king -- and help his forces in war. A wide and varied set of people from all walks of life take their places in the rich tapestry of this story."--- Subjects: Fantasy fiction.; Novels.; Ambition; Assassination; Courts and courtiers; Poets; Power (Social sciences); War;

- All the seas of the world / by Kay, Guy Gavriel,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."On a dark night along a lonely stretch of coast, a small ship sends two people ashore. Their purpose is assassination. They have been hired by two of the most dangerous men alive to alter the balance of power in the world. If they succeed, the consequences will affect the destinies of empires, and lives both great and small. One of those arriving at that beach is a woman abducted by corsairs as a child and sold into years of servitude. Having escaped, she is trying to chart her own course-and is bent upon revenge. Another is a seafaring merchant who still remembers being exiled as a child with his family from their home, for their faith, a moment that never leaves him. In what follows, through a story both intimate and epic, unforgettable characters are immersed in the fierce and deadly struggles that define their time. All the Seas of the World is a drama that also offers moving reflections on memory, fate, and the random events that can shape our lives-in the past, and today"--- Subjects: Fantasy fiction.; Novels.; Assassins; Fate and fatalism; Kidnapping victims; Memory; Merchants; Politics, Practical; Revenge;
