About Author

Writes fantasy novels. He writes very good characterisations and manages to show just how passionate his players can love or hate. Some of the scenes he creates can be extremely moving and intense. It's a shame that he has not written any more novels than the six listed below, as yet.

Born and raised in Canada. Resides in Toronto, Canada.

Others

• Tigana - Epic story about a bard who seeks to restore the Kingdom of Tigana, from under the rule of an oppressive evil empire. Some say that this is Kay's best work, and I would not disagree with them.
• A Song for Arbonne - The story of two kingdoms, Arbonne and Gorhaut, and their people.
• The Lions of Al-Rassan - The story of two men, Captain Rodrigo Belmonte and Ammar ibn Khairan, who although from different cultures server for a time as mercenaries under the same king. The latest Kay stories, shows just how well Kay can research his stories.
• Sailing to Sarantium (Earthlight, 438 pages, ISBN 0-671-02193-1 UK) - The Sarantine Empire is beset by enemies, but the Emporer Valerius II is determined to win Rhodias, Western Cradle of the empire, back from the barbarians who overran it - and also to build the greatest Santuary to the god Jad ever created. Into this maelstrom steps Crispin, a master mosaicist who observes the power of the older gods at first hand, even as he journeys to fulfill the emperor's command. He will find colour, death and deadly politics at his elbow...

  Great book, in Kay's refreshingly passionate style.

• King of Emperors (Forthcoming) - Volume 2 of the Sarantine Mosaic. Concludes Series.
