Kushiel's Chosen

Phèdre was trained as a spy, courtesan and strategist under her tutor's watchful eye. He also saw she'd been touched by the god Kushiel's dart, chosen to experience pain and pleasure as one.

Above all, he taught Phèdre to observe and analyse - skills that may yet save her life.

Once before, Phèdre sacrificed everything to save her country, but the gods still cast a shadow over her land. For while their young queen is beloved by her people, traitors remain. Those who want others on the throne and aren't done with schemes for power and revenge.

To do her duty, Phèdre must again leave her homeland - only to uncover an earth-shattering plot. One masterminded by the one person she can't deny. . .
