Lord of Emperors
The Western mosaicist Crispin has arrived in the golden city of Sarantium and sets out to confront the challenges of his art high on the scaffolding of destiny--but he soon discovers that no man can withdraw from the dangerous intrigues of court and city, or forget that the presence of the half-world is always close by. To the Imperial City there also comes another voyager, Rustem of Kerakek, a physician from the east who finds that his own fate is not simply that of a healer.
In this concluding volume of the Sarantine Mosaic, Guy Gavriel Kay brilliantly merges an epic adventure with a deeply moving meditation on art and power, and the eternal human struggle to leave a legacy.

Guy Gavriel Kay (born November 7, 1954) is a Canadian author of fantasy fiction. Many of his novels are set in fictional realms that resemble real places during real historical periods, such as Constantinople during the reign of Justinian I or Spain during the time of El Cid. Those works are published and marketed as historical fantasy, though the author himself has expressed a preference to shy away from genre categorization when possible.
