Publisher's Summary

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)

Simon Vance Brings The Story To Life

One of my favourite books. A wonderful fantasy of the intricacies of ancient Asian culture, magic, politics and the dangers of kindness.
The audiobook is narrated by Simon Vance is one of the best audiobooks I have listened to. Simon brings the story to life and will always be the voice of this novel for me.
