COMING SOON IN TRADE PAPERBACK!<\/p>\n

Last year, CHILDREN OF EARTH AND SKY by Guy Gavriel Kay, the bestselling author of the groundbreaking novels Under Heaven<\/em> and River of Stars<\/em>, debuted to widespread acclaim from both readers and reviewers alike. Set in a world inspired by the conflicts and dramas of Renaissance Europe, CHILDREN OF EARTH AND SKY followed the lives of the men and women on the borderlands\u2014a place where empires and faiths collide.<\/p>\n

From the small coastal town of Senjan, notorious for its pirates, a young woman sets out to find vengeance for her lost family. That same spring, from the wealthy city-state of Seressa, famous for its canals and lagoon, come two very different people: a young artist traveling to the dangerous east to paint the grand khalif at his request \u2013 and possibly to do more \u2013 and a fiercely intelligent, angry woman posing as a doctor\u2019s wife but sent by Seressa as a spy.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

The trading ship that carries them is commanded by the accomplished younger son of a merchant family, ambivalent about the life he\u2019s been born to live. And farther east a boy trains to become a soldier in the elite infantry of the khalif \u2013 to win glory in the war everyone knows is coming.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

As these lives entwine, their fates \u2013 and those of many others \u2013 will hang in the balance when the khalif sends out his massive army to take the great fortress that is the getaway to the western world.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n
