Kushiel's Dart

The lush epic fantasy that inspired a generation with a single precept: Love As Thou Wilt

 

"When Love cast me out, it was Cruelty who took pity on me."

In Terre d’Ange, the kingdom born of angels, Phèdre nó Delaunay is a young woman with a unique gift—pricked by Kushiel’s Dart, she is bound to forever experience pain and pleasure as one. Trained equally in the courtly arts and the talents of the bedchamber, through her scarlet wave of passion she is able to observe, remember, and analyze her clients and learn their darkest secrets. One of those secrets reveals a plot that threatens the very foundation of Terre d’Ange. Treachery sets her on her path; love and honor goad her further. And will take her to the edge of despair… and beyond.

Grandeur, luxuriance, sacrifice, betrayal, and deeply laid conspiracies, Kushiel’s Dart is a world filled with cunning poets, deadly courtiers, heroic traitors, a truly Machiavellian villainess…

And an unforgettable heroine.
