A nation given birth to of angels, great and intricate and ornamented by danger... a female given birth to to servitude, unknowingly given usage of the secrets of the world...
Given birth to with a scarlet mote in her left eyesight, Phédre nó Delaunay is sold into indentured servitude as a child. When her relationship is purchased by an enigmatic nobleman, she is trained in history, theology, politics, overseas languages, the arts of pleasure. And above all, the capability to observe, remember, and analyze. Delightful courtesan, talented spy... and unlikely heroine. However when Phédre stumbles after a story that threatens her homeland, Terre d'Ange, she has no choice.
Betrayed into captivity in the barbarous northland of Skaldia and supported only by a disdainful young warrior-priest, Phédre makes a harrowing get away and a far more harrowing journey to return to her people and deliver a alert of the impending invasion. And this shows only the first step in a pursuit that will take her to the advantage of despair and beyond.
Phédre nó Delaunay is the woman who contains the tips to her realm's dangerous secrets, and whose courage will make a decision the very future of her world.
Not since Dune has there been an epic on the range of Kushiel's Dart-a large story about the violent death of an old age group and the beginning of a new. It is a book of grandeur, luxuriance, sacrifice, betrayal, and deeply laid conspiracies. A world of cunning poets, dangerous courtiers, deposed rulers and a besieged Queen, a warrior-priest, the Prince of Travelers, barbarian warlords, heroic traitors, and a Machiavellian villainess... all seen through the unflinching eyes of an remarkable heroine.
