The internationally bestselling author of Tigana, All the Seas of the World, and A Brightness Long Ago, Guy Gavriel Kay is one of our most decorated fantasy writers—and a skilled worldbuilder who blends history and fantasy to bring entirely original narratives to life. Written on the Dark is another masterpiece, set in a magical version of medieval France, replete with ambitious royals, assassins, and invading armies. He’ll speak to this latest novel, along with the rest of his extraordinary body of work, and how he researches and draws from the past to create worlds unlike anything we’ve seen before. Moderated by Robert J. Wiersema.
