Synopsis
Guy Kay’s first contemporary fantasy is a tour de force—and his bestselling novel ever. Fifteen-year-old Ned Marriner accompanies his photographer father to Provence,where he is shooting images for a glossy coffee-table book. As Ned strolls along roads walked by Celtic tribes and Roman legions, he discovers a very old story playing itself out in this modern world of iPods and cell phones. On one holy, haunted night of the ancient year, when the borders between the living and the dead are down and fires are lit upon the hills, Ned, his family, and friends are shockingly drawn into this tale, as dangerous,mythic figures from conflicts of long ago erupt into the present, claiming and changing lives.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. This book has been read, minor pencil marking first inner page, no other markings inner pages. Minor crease to front cover, no wear to back cover. Spine intact, no creases. "Provence, in the south of France, is a part of the world that has beenand continues to becalled a paradise. But one of the lessons that history teaches is that paradise is coveted and fought over. Successive waves of invaders have claimedor tried to claimthose vineyards, rivers, olive groves, and hills. In Guy Gavriel Kay's new novel, Ysabel, this dualityof exquisite beauty and violent historyis explored in a work that marks a departure from Kay's historical fantasies set in various analogues of the past. Ysabel takes place in the world of today: in a modern springtime, in and around the celebrated city of Aix-en-Provence near Marseilles. Dangerous, mythic figures from the Celtic and Roman conflicts of the past erupt into the present, claiming and changing lives. The protagonist is Ned Marriner, the fifteen year-old son of a well-known photographer. Ned has accompanied his father, Edward Marriner, and a team of assistants to Provence for a six week "shoot." Good Reads "Guy Gavriel Kay is a Canadian author of fantasy fiction. Many of his novels are set in fictional realms that resemble real places during real historical periods, such as Constantinople during the reign of Justinian I or Spain during the time of El Cid. Those works are published and marketed as historical fantasy, though the author himself has expressed a preference to shy away from genre categorization when possible." Good Reads.

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. mass market paperback 511 pp. The book appears to be unread. Were it not for the unfortunate fold on the back cover, this would be in as new condition. A great reading copy. This is Kay's first contemporary fantasy, weaving layers of story over universal truths. His characters are believable in the manner of Stephen King and other master storytellers. They react consistently to the uncanny as people would when encountering the unknown.
