Guy Gavriel Kay doesn’t usually write historical fantasy; most of his work is set in fictional worlds. But in every other way that matters, he’s one of the best historical fantasy authors alive. Many of Kay’s fantasies are set in worlds just one step away from our own, exhaustively researched and beautifully realized reimaginings of eras such as Tang Dynasty China or Renaissance Europe, whose separation from our reality allows Kay to comment freely upon our cultural foibles and historical sins. His latest, Written on the Dark, will take place in a world inspired by the chaotic, captivating tapestry of medieval France.
