The Lions of Al-Rassan Book Reviews
The Lions of Al-Rassan by Guy Gavriel Kay Book Summary
Award-wining author Guy Gavriel’s sixth novel, hauntingly evocative of medieval Spain, is both a brilliant adventure and a moving story of love, divided loyalties, and what happens to men and women when hardening beliefs begin to remake -- or destroy -- a world.
The ruling Asharites have come from the desert sands, worshipping the stars, their warrior blood fierce and pure. But over centuries, seduced by the sensuous pleasures of their new land, that stern piety has eroded. The Asharies empire has splintered into decadent city-states lead by warring petty kinds.
King Almalik of Cartada is on the ascendancy, adding city after city to his realm, even though Cartada is threatened by forces both within and without. Almalik is aided by his friend and advisor, the notorious Ammar ibn Khairan -- poet, diplomat, soldier -- until a summer afternoon of savage brutality changes their relationship forever.
Meanwhile, in the north, the Jaddite’s most celebrated -- and feared -- military leader, Rodrigo Belmonte, is driven into exile in the wake of events following the death of the king he loved. Rodrigo leads his mercenary company south, to the dangerous lands of Al-Rassan.
In the exquisite lakeside city of Ragosa, Rodrigo Belmonte and Ammar ibn Kharian meet and serve -- for a time -- the same master. Sharing the interwoven fate of these two men from different worlds -- and increasingly torn in her feelings -- is Jehane, the beautiful, accomplished court physician, whose own skills play an increasing role as Al-Rassan is swept to the brink of holy war, and beyond.

Treat yourself. Kay's "Tigana" is one of my favorite books. Reading this book cemented Kay as one of my favorite authors. There is a depth of insight here that is truly rare, and an incredible ability find the right words to communicate them to the reader. I can't recommend this enough to lovers of high fantasy.
Top ten. Memorable literature is rare and this is one. Each character becomes a friend and the plot is never predictable. This novel ranks in my top ten after 51 years of avid reading.
Fantastic. Another greatly woven story by Guy!
Great Book. … but good lord, are they ever going to fix the corrupted cover image???
Please fix the cover. Just that
