The Darkest Road Summary

The Darkest Road by Guy Gavriel Kay

Five men and women from our world face a battle with an evil beyond imagining in the deeply moving conclusion to Guy Gavriel Kay's acclaimed Fionavar Tapestry.

As the Unraveller's armies assemble, those resisting him must call upon the most ancient of powers, knowing that if this realm of gods and magic is conquered by evil, the ripples of destruction will be felt across all worlds.

But despite the sacrifices made and courage shown, all may be undone because of one child's choice. For that one has been born of both Darkness and Light, and he alone must walk the darkest road as the fate of worlds hangs in the balance...

The Darkest Road Reviews

Praise for The Fionovar Tapestry

Kay has delivered such a magnificent...volume that I can't praise it enough. The Fionavar Tapestry is a work that will be read for many years to come. It is a book that makes one proud to be working in the same genre as its author.-Charles de Lint

I'm overwhelmed...The Summer Tree is one of those books that change your perception of the world forever afterward.-Marion Zimmer Bradley

A remarkable achievement...the essence of high fantasy.-Locus

Kay's intricate Celtic background will please fantasy buffs...in the manner of The Silmarillion, the posthumous Tolkien work that Kay helped edit.-Publishers Weekly

Immense scale, literary richness and dazzling heroes.-Toronto Star

Certainly this is one of the very best of the fantasies which have appeared since Tolkien, and I trust it will be recognized as such.-Andre Norton

This is the only fantasy work I know which does not suffer by comparison to The Lord of the Rings.-Interzone

Can be compared only with Tolkien's masterpiece. A passionate battle between good and evil...it delights the spirit.-Star-Phoenix

Satisfying...a highly literate, lovingly detailed work of fantasy.-Fantasy Review

Kay's bestselling-and stunning-fantasy trilogy finds its power not in its feats of imagination or world-building (though there are dazzling heapings of both) but from its rootedness in the reality of human emotions and relationships.-The Globe and Mail

A grand galloping narrative...reverberates with centuries of mythic and incantory implications-with a little Prince Hal and Falstaff on the side.-Christian Science Monitor

The Fionavar Tapestry, when all is said and done, is one of the most beautifully written and moving fantasy trilogies ever written. Those are very large words, but I truly believe this book is large enough to fit into such a reputation.-Green Man Review
