The Last Light of the Sun.

I rather like that title. It sounds like it could be the name of a Guy Gavriel Kay novel....which is a good thing, because it is. Next spring will see the release of this novel. No plot details have been leaked as of yet, but I seem to recall reading somewhere that the book is at least set in the same pseudo-Europe as GGK's last three novels (The Lions of Al-Rassan, Sailing to Sarantium, Lord of Emperors), so a good conjecture might be that the book deals somehow with the sun-based Jaddite religion. Perhaps we are to get GGK's version of the Crusades and the Knights Templar. (Or maybe something else entirely, of course!)

Forum discussion of the new title can be read here.
