Tigana is a fantasy novel by Guy Gavriel Kay, set in a fictional country, the Peninsula of the Palm, that somewhat resembles medieval Italy as well as the Peloponnese in shape. Though the Peninsula of the Palm shares a common culture and language, it is, like medieval Italy, not a unified nation, comprising instead nine provinces with a long history of internecine struggle (in alphabetical order, the provinces are: Asoli, Astibar, Certando, Chiara, Corte, Ferraut, Senzio, Tigana, and Tregea). This internal conflict facilitates the conquest of the region by two powerful sorcerers: Brandin, the King of Ygrath, is one; the other, Alberico, is an independent warlord from the empire of Barbadior. The two sorcerers have divided the peninsula in an uneasy balance of power.
