Description
Under Heaven by Guy Gavriel Kay is set in an alternate 8th century China, where honour comes at a steep price. For two years, Shen Tai has lived as a hermit beyond the borders of the Kitan Empire, mourning his celebrated father and laying to rest the mingled dead of both empires. A letter arrives with a promise of a poisoned chalice: 250 Sardian horses from the far west, legendary steeds that would honour any man greatly. But giving such a gift could be Tai's death warrant. He must now try to return alive from solitude to a glittering, dangerous court where his courage and piety will be tested. In this epic historical adventure, heroes, assassins, concubines, and emperors vie for power against a majestic and unforgiving landscape.
