He fought for his king and country, until the king died with an arrow in his eye at the battle of Iersen Bridge, and a dishonorable treaty ceded a good part of his country to foreign hands. He has broken relations with his father, adviser to the king of Gorhaut, and abandoned the use of his family name. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Now, Blaise is a mercenary. He never expected to work for the lords of Arbonne, the warm, fertile lands south of Gorhaut, whose people praise the love of women--they even worship a goddess, instead of the god. They are a soft people, or so he thought. But for all their nonsense about love, their troubadours and songs, they will fight for their country, when invasion comes from the north.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGuy Gavriel Kay\u003c\/b\u003e is the international bestselling author of numerous fantasy novels including The Fionavar Tapestry trilogy, \u003ci\u003eTigana\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Last Light of the Sun\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eUnder Heaven\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRiver of Stars\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eChildren of Earth and Sky\u003c\/i\u003e.
