Phèdre nó Delaunay was sold into indentured servitude as a
child. Her bond was purchased by a nobleman who recognized
that she was pricked by Kushiel's Dart, chosen to forever
experience pain and pleasure as one.
Phèdre's path has been strange and dangerous. She has lain
with princes and pirate kings, battled a wicked temptress,
and saved two nations. Through it all, the devoted
swordsman Joscelin has been at her side, following the
central precept of the angel Cassiel: Protect and serve.
But Phèdre's plans will put his pledge to the test, for she
has never forgotten her childhood friend Hyacinthe. She has
spent ten long years searching for the key to free him from
his eternal indenture to the Master of Straights, a bargain
with the gods to save Phèdre and a nation. The search will
take Phèdre and Joscelin across the world and down a fabled
river to a forgotten land . . . and to a power so intense
and mysterious, none dare speak its name.
