About
See storytelling masters Guy Gavriel Kay and Susanna Kearsley for an event on their latest historical fiction novels – with a bit of magic. Kay, renowned for blending history and fantasy, shares Written on the Dark, a novel that explores the delicate space between myth and memory, the intimate and the epic. Kearsley presents The King’s Messenger, a gripping tale of intrigue and loyalty, where political tension and personal duty collide in a richly detailed historical world. Together, these authors will read from their new works and discuss the power of story to illuminate the past while speaking to our present.
Moderated by Trevor Campbell
