Guy Gavriel Kay is a master of fantasy, and fans won't be disappointed with his newest novel, Ysabel. Ned Marriner is 16, and he should be elated to be on location with his famous photographer father. After all, he could be home in the States writing exams! Instead, Ned finds himself caught up in a series of increasingly bizarre events, starting with a weird encounter in the ancient cathedral at Aix-en-Provence, France. In the shadowy interior of the church, a very old story is beginning again. Ned and his new friend Kate are drawn into a conflict from long ago, where centuries-dead Roman legions and Celtic tribes cross the boundary from death back into life. The best part of this book is how the author weaves modern technology into the well researched and complex history of Roman times. Fiction
