Kushiel's Chosen

In the angel-descended land of Terre d'Ange, where the guiding law is 'Love as thou wilt,' Phèdre nó Delaunay—a courtesan and spy marked by the god Kushiel to experience pain and pleasure as one—is drawn back into political danger. With the young queen's throne contested and old enemies still scheming for power and revenge, Phèdre leaves her homeland, traveling from Venetian-inspired villas to the wilds of ancient Hellas, encountering allies and adversaries while uncovering a conspiracy tied to someone she cannot bring herself to abandon.
