About this listen

The award-winning historical fantasies of Guy Gavriel Kay have earned him international best seller status and placed his books atop his fans' must-have lists.

Under Heaven takes listeners to Tang dynasty China, where the son of an honored general has received an unheard of gift: 250 Sardian horses. But this is a prize men would, and will, kill for.

"History and fantasy rarely come together as gracefully as they do in the novels of Guy Gavriel Kay." (Washington Post Book World)

Just an amazing book. A tale that takes its time but builds an entire world through the gentle trading of lives through their own soaring stories and intersecting pathways.

A sumptuous tale of time and dynasty
