Sailing to Sarantium

"Sailing to Sarantium" by Kay, Guy Gavriel, published by Earthlight. The first part of The Sarantine Mosaic, Kays sweeping tale of politics, intrigue and adventure inspired by ancient Byzantium. Rumored to be responsible for the ascension of the previous Emperor, his uncle, amid fire and blood, Valerius the Trakesian has himself now risen to the Golden Throne of the vast empire ruled by the fabled city, Sarantium. Valerius has a vision to match his ambition: a glittering dome that will proclaim his magnificence down through the ages. And so, in a ruined western city on the far distant edge of civilization, a not-so-humble artisan receives a call that will change his life forever. Crispin is a mosaicist, a layer of bright tiles. Still grieving for the family he lost to the plague, he lives only for his arcane craft, and cares little for ambition, less for money, and for intrigue not at all. But an imperial summons to the most magnificent city in the world is a difficult call to resist. In this world still half-wild and tangled with magic, no journey is simple; and a journey to Sarantium means a walk into destiny. Bearing with him a deadly secret, and a Queen's seductive promise; guarded only by his own wits and a bird soul talisman from an alchemist's treasury, Crispin sets out for the fabled city from which none return unaltered. ** Series First Part : Sarantine Series Last Part : Mosaic Author Len : 3 Tags Qty : 5 WordsC : 531 (160,373) Series Last Word : Mosaic Title Length : 020 Has Cover : Yes ES Index : 1 Series First Word : Sarantine Words : 160,373 Goodreads : 104097 Num of Aut : 1 ES Name : Sarantine Mosaic Before Underscore : Sailing to Sarantium Formats : EPUB Record ID : 33762 Number of Formats : 1 Single Author : Guy Gavriel Kay Original Source : own library ISBN : 045146351X ES Pub Date : Sep 1998 Sorted Author by LN, FN: Kay, Guy Gavriel All Identifiers : amazon_uk:B004L9MEY6, goodreads:104097, isbn:045146351X Filename : EPUB:G:\cal_libs\Calibre_G-M\Guy Gavriel Kay\Sailing to Sarantium (33762)\Sailing to Sarantium - Guy Gavriel Kay.epub Comments Len : 1293 Pages : 531 Book details: published 1998.
