Kushiel's Avatar

fullDescription

The land of Terre d'Ange is a place of unsurpassed beauty and grace. It is said that angels found the land and saw it was good...and the ensuing race that rose from the seed of angels and men live by one simple rule: Love as thou wilt. Phèdre nó Delaunay is a woman pricked by Kushiel's Dart, chosen to forever experience pain and pleasure as one. Her path has been strange and dangerous, and through it all the devoted swordsman Joscelin has been at her side. Her very nature is a torturous thing for them both, but he is sworn to her and he has never violated his vow: to protect and serve. But Phèdre's plans put Joscelin's 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, a bargain he struck with the gods-to take Phèdre's place as a sacrifice and save a nation. Phèdre cannot forgive-herself or the gods. She is determined to seize one last hope to redeem her friend, even if it means her death. The search will bring Phèdre and Joscelin across the world, to distant courts where madness reigns and souls are currency, and down a fabled river to a land forgotten by most of the world. And to a power so mighty that none dare speak its name.

     Starred review from March 17, 2003
     The promise of Kushiel's Dart
     (2001), the first volume of Carey's immense trilogy set in a skewed Renaissance world, is more than realized in this splendid conclusion. In the 10 years since the action of the second, relatively uneventful volume, Kushiel's Chosen
     (2002), the winsome and gritty anguisette
     Phèdre, bidden to seek pain in love by her demi-gods, the cruel Kushiel and the loving Naamah, has matured gracefully. Now the Comtesse Phèdre nó Delaunay de Montrève, she enjoys maintaining an estate together with the swordsman Joscelin, her faithful consort. She still follows her calling, though accepting but three patrons a year. Only the lonely fate of her imprisoned childhood friend, Hyacinthe, who's courageously volunteered to become Master of the Straits, disturbs her serenity. Then the beautiful, treacherous Melisande Shahrizai asks the anguisette
     to rescue her kidnapped son, Imriel. In return, Melisande promises to help Phèdre find the Name of God, the key to freeing Hyacinthe. Having traveled west in the first book from the French-Italianate city-state of Terre d'Ange, Phèdre here journeys south into the equivalents of the Middle East and Africa, where she triumphs gloriously. Effortlessly rich in adventurous incident, with a huge cast of well-defined characters, this poignant and robust story will appeal to both fantasy lovers and fans of erotic romance. Agent, Jane Dystel. (Apr. 21)Forecast:A recent interview in
     Locus and strong cross-over appeal to romance readers who don't mind a touch of kinky sex will ensure sales that build on those of the previous two volumes.

   • content: In Carey's version of a Renaissance world, the inhabitants are the descendants of angels. Ten years after the second installment in the trilogy KUSHIEL'S CHOSEN, Phedre seeks to release her friend Hyacinthe from a curse. In exchange for the knowledge to free her friend, she agrees to find the queen's kidnapped son. This quest takes Phedre on an adventure through a most fascinating world. The grace of Anne Flosnik's English-accented narration pairs well with the author's prose, and the combination is lyrical. Flosnik's smooth, silky vocals are calming. Her careful enunciation of each syllable of the story-specific vocabulary and her minute pauses between word pairs are perfectly timed. As Flosnik beautifully conveys the elegance of this fantasy world, her sensual delivery is captivating. A.L.B. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
