A Song for Arbonne
by Guy Gavriel KayAnselme, who has ever been acknowledged as the first and perhaps the greatest of all the troubadours of Arbonne, was of modest birth, the youngest son of a clerk in the castle of a baron near Cauvas. He was of middling height, dark haired, with a quiet manner in speech that was nonetheless wondrously pleasing to all who heard him. While yet tender in years, he showed great skill and interest in music and was invited to join the celebrated choir of the Cauvas sanctuary of the god. It was not long, however, before he felt the beginnings of a desire to make music very different from that acceptable in the service of the god, or indeed of the goddess Rian in her temples. And so Anselme left the comforts of the chapel and choir to make his way alone among the villages and castles of Arbonne, offering his new songs shaped of tunes and words such as he had heard sung by the common folk in their own speech...

A Song for Nero
by Tom HoltA Song for Nero is a 570 page independent "what if" novel first published in 2003 and written by the well-recognized witty and humorous fantasy author Tom Holt. The concept of the novel is interesting. After describing the circumstances of Nero's death, Abacus's summary states, "History, however, does not always tell the truth, and there is another possibility ... Nero did not die in that ditch, but somebody who looked very much like him did. This means that Nero has the opportunity to start a new life in pursuit of his first love: music. But there's a problem: he is being pursued by two people who have reason to suspect he is still alive and at least one of them wants him dead. A SONG FOR NERO is a remarkable historical novel, written with style, wit and authenticity. Whether or not it is a true story, however, remains a matter of speculation. What gives the novel its greatest color is the engaging, irreverent narrator, the scam artist who accompanies Nero on his picaresque travels. Full of schemes for cheating the picturesque inhabitants of the ancient Mediterranean world out of their gold and silver coins, he has, as Seneca, "the wisest man in the world," observes, an Epicurean's devotion to his own pleasure and personal advantage that he defends with the determinism of the Stoics in a racy, profane, colloquial style that has a very anachronistic modern flavor.
