From Jacqueline Carey, New York Times bestselling
author of Kushiel's Scion and Kushiel's
Justice, comes the final adventure in the Imriel
Trilogy. Having paid dearly for ignoring Elua's edict to
love as thou wilt, Imriel and Sidonie have finally come
forward to publicly confess their love for each other---only
to watch the news ignite turmoil throughout the land. Those
who are old enough cannot forget the misdeeds of Imriel's
mother, Melisande, whose self-serving lies plunged their
country into war. In order to quell the uprising, Queen
Ysandre hands down a decree: she will not divide the lovers,
but neither will she acknowledge them. And if they decide to
marry, Sidonie will be disinherited. That is, unless
Imriel can find his mother and bring her back to Terre
D'Ange to be executed for treason....
