Tigana is the celebrated epic of a beleaguered country struggling to be free. It is the tale of a people so cursed by the dark sorceries of the tyrant king Brandin that even the very name of their once beautiful home cannot be spoken or remembered. And yet, years after their homeland's devastation, a handful of men and women set in motion a dangerous crusade—to overthrow their conquerors and bring back into the world the lost brightness of an obliterated name: Tigana.
Against the magnificently realized backdrop of a world both sensuous and brutal, this masterful novel of a passionate people pursuing their dream is breathtaking in its vision, and changes forever the boundaries of fantasy fiction.
