Arbonne is a lush, fertile land near the sea, and its people revere music and the Goddess Rian. In Gorhaut, the God Corannos and war are the only considerations. These two countries are on a collision course, which will lead to a war in which son fights father - and life-long friendships end in death.
Honouring a lineage from Homer to Tolkien and Le Guin, Guy Gavriel Kay has written a high fantasy where both style and substance reign supreme. His characters breathe life with every entrance, his settings are as real as the fields we know. As triumph and disaster appear on page after page, the reader will fight, love and die with all the protagonists. 'A Song For Arbonne' has echoes of medieval France, yet lives in the classic fantasy world of a master's imagination.
