Review
Let's drop the labels and say that Sailing to Sarantium confirms, yet again, Kay's status as one of our most accomplished and engaging storytellers. -- - Toronto Star
Book Description
Sarantium is the golden city: holy to the faithful, exalted by the poets, jewel of the world and heart of an empire. Artisan Caius Crispus receives a summons from the emperor and sets off on a journey toward the Imperial city. But before Crispin can reach Sarantium, with its taverns and gilded sanctuaries, chariot races and palaces, he must pass through a land of pagan ritual and mysterious danger.
In Sailing to Sarantium, the first volume of the brilliant Sarantine Mosaic, Guy Gavriel Kay weaves an utterly compelling story of the allure and intrigue of a magnificent city and the people drawn into its spell.

Sailing to Sarantium is an incredibly thoughtful, well planned and captivating book. The intensity of the writing is a real treat for readers who enjoy high quality fiction, that has underpinnings of real history. Guy Gavriel Kay is an incredibly talented writer, and we Canadians should be proud of him. The sequel is equally fantastic and teh pair are a must for teh bookshelves of all serious fiction readers.
