    For many, Guy Gavriel Kay is the king of historical fantasy. He puts his characters in real settings and adds the odd magical tweak. In Tigana, the Italian Renaissance is brought vividly to life but with the odd battling wizard an an epic curse thrown into the mix.

    So, for fantasy week we have a set of GGK books to give away, open to the devoted fan or the curious newb, good luck. And the competition closes in 7 days...

    Competition now closed
