Publisher Description
A masterful epic of magic, politics, war, and the power of love and hate—from the renowned author of The Fionavar Tapestry and Children of Earth and Sky.
Tigana is the magical story of a beleaguered land struggling to be free. It is the tale of a people so cursed by the black sorcery of a cruel despotic king that even the name of their once-beautiful homeland cannot be spoken or remembered...
But years after the devastation, a handful of courageous men and women embark upon a dangerous crusade to overthrow their conquerors and bring back to the dark world the brilliance of a long-lost name...Tigana.
Against the magnificently rendered background of a world both sensuous and barbaric, this sweeping epic of a passionate people pursuing their dream is breathtaking in its vision, changing forever the boundaries of fantasy fiction.
Customer Reviews
Wow…
I don’t often review books like this but I feel like I have to. This was incredible.
I want to warn that it starts kind of slow and each shift in POV can be a bit disorienting until you figure out who is telling the story, but it definitely hits its stride.
This is one of the most emotionally impactful books I’ve read in a while. Definitely a 5-star read.
A must-read
This book is a masterwork, plain and simple. Every sentence is a delight to read, the story is incredible, and the characters are wonderfully written. I've read a lot of fantasy, and this is some of the very best.
A masterpiece
A masterpiece filled with beauty and heartbreak and brutality and courage. One of the finest books I’ve ever read.
