“An ambitious entertainment that transcends the historical record,
offering cogent observations on fathers and sons, on the power of
grief, on faith, courage, loyalty and the inevitability of
change.”—The Washington Post Book World
“Kay has written a modern saga, a story of song and heroes and of
the end of days.”—The Toronto Star
“[A] wonderfully imaginative historical fantasy...the pieces come
together to weave a dazzling tapestry.”—Publishers Weekly (starred
review)
“If you take Stephen King’s attention to detail, Stephen Lawhead’s
Byzantium, a near Shakespearean plot, and the best narration and
storytelling in a while, you have The Last Light of the Sun.”—SF
Revu
“The Last Light of the Sun steadfastly confront[s] us with the
significant acts of insignificant people, the ironies of history,
and both heroism and the fantastic stripped of accumulated myths
and legends.”—Locus

Driven from his northern home for crimes committed by his father, Bern Thorkellson finds his destiny across the sea, in the lands of the Angles and the Gaels, traditional enemies of his people. Set during the time of the Viking raids, the latest historical fantasy by the author of Tigana and A Song for Arbonne brings depth and texture to the ancient tales of the Norse lands. Kay's consummate storytelling and fidelity to the spirit of his subject matter make this novel a solid addition to most fantasy collections and a good selection for fans of historical fiction and Celtic or Norse legends.
