Few writers keep news of their upcoming novels as tightly under wraps as Guy Gavriel Kay. Today, however, the Canadian author took to Twitter and announced the title of his next novel almost a year ahead of release. It’s going to be called Children of Earth and Sky.
Little else is known at this point, but given Kay’s predilection for basing his fantasy world’s on the cultures and histories of our world, perhaps we could have some fun trying to put together the pieces and figure out where this one might be set?
Children of Earth and Sky will be released in Spring 2016.
You just made my day! Yippee!!!

Something Khanate based would make my silk road fantasy hard go “Sprung!”
Something makes me think Asian Steppes when I hear that. Mongolian or something.
I’m thinking something involving the equivalent of North American indigenous cultures.
the cover seems to have a Stranger in a Strange Land feel to it.
Incas perhaps?
Yeah, I’m guessing either Mongolian or American Indian-inspired. I’d love for him to stay in Asia a bit longer, but I’ll take what I can get. :D
