Under Heaven is the eleventh novel by Canadian fantasy author Guy Gavriel Kay. It was published in April 2010 by Viking Canada. Set in a fantasied Tang China, it is Kay's first work set outside of a fantasied European or Mediterranean setting. The novel is based on a fictionalized version of the An Shi Rebellion. Under Heaven takes place in a completely new world, as seen by it having only one moon as opposed to the two moon normally present in Guy Gavriel Kay's works. In 2013 he published a second novel, River of Stars, set approximately 400 years later in the same world.

Gutes Buch um eine Idee von China in der Tang Dynastie zu bekommen. Story aber nicht kreativ/ueberraschend/innovativ sondern relativ vorhersehbar, teils zu ausfuehrlich/nicht aufs Wesentliche reduziert. Die Rolle von Uebersinnlichem/Magie ist nicht wirklich klar (was aber nicht unbedigt Makel sein muss).
