The land of Terre d'Ange is a place of unsurpassed beauty
and grace. The inhabiting race rose from the seed of angels
and men, and they live by one simple rule: Love as thou
wilt.
Phèdre nó Delaunay was sold into indentured servitude as a
child. Her bond was purchased by a nobleman, the first to
recognize that she is one pricked by Kushiel's Dart, chosen
to forever experience pain and pleasure as one. He trained
Phèdre in the courtly arts and the talents of the
bedchamber--and, above all, the ability to observe,
remember, and analyze.
When she stumbled upon a plot that threatened the very
foundations of her homeland, she gave up almost everything
she held dear to save it. She survived, and lived to have
others tell her story, and if they embellished the tale
with fabric of mythical splendor, they weren't far off the
mark.
The hands of the gods weigh heavily upon Phèdre's brow, and
they are not finished with her. While the young queen who
sits upon the throne is well loved by the people, there are
those who believe another should wear the crown... and
those who escaped the wrath of the mighty are not yet done
with their schemes for power and revenge.
