Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay

These texts are drawn from a complex fantasy novel centered on a peninsula struggling under the domination of two powerful, magical conquerors, Brandin of Ygrath and Alberico of Barbadior. The core narrative follows Alessan, the exiled Prince of the lost realm of Tigana, and his companions as they travel secretly to foment rebellion and seek allies among the oppressed provinces. Key plot movements include the dangerous maneuvers of the supposedly deceased Duke Sandre d'Astibar, the gathering of various wizards, and acts of espionage by members like the musician Devin and the determined warrior Catriana. Simultaneously, Dianora di Certando executes a long-planned, perilous course of action within the court of King Brandin in Chiara, aiming for ultimate sacrifice to achieve vengeance for her people. The excerpts ultimately lead to a strategic military and magical battle in Senzio where Alessan's forces—fighting to restore the memory and name of Tigana—clash directly with the armies of the two Tyrants.
