About This Item
Toronto, ON: Viking Canada, 2007. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. INSCRIPTION FROM GUY GAVRIEL KAY on title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; slight wear to upper back corner by spine; otherwise very minimal wear; Through almost two decades of bestselling novels, Guy Gavriel Kay has used the prism of the fantastic to examine themes of history. Now in a brilliant departure, Ysabel turns the prism another way, using a vividly realized contemporary setting to show how the past never really goes away - whether it be two thousand, five hundred years ago or twenty-five. In the sublime and ancient corner of the world, where borders between the living and the long dead are most vulnerable, Ned and those close to him are about to be drawn into a haunted tale, as mythic figures from conflicts of long ago erupt into the present, changing and claiming lives.
