What this book is about

Blaise de Garsenc, a warrior from a northern patriarchal kingdom, finds himself in Arbonne — a southern culture that honors women and troubadours. War between the two is coming. Kay's medieval French fantasy is a meditation on gender, art, and what makes a civilization worth defending.
