Jacqueline Carey's
popular Kushiel
series of novels
are known for the
rare way in which
they weave the erotic
elements of S&M,
dominance and submission
into a detailed
narrative set in
a world of romance
and intrigue.
The land of Terre
d'Ange is a place
of unsurpassing
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.
A young woman is
born with a scarlet
mote in her left
eye. Sold into indentured
servitude as a child,
her bond is purchased
by a nobleman with
very a special mission.
He is the first
to recognize who
and what she is:
one pricked by Kushiel's
Dart, chosen to
forever experience
pain and pleasure
as one.
Set in a world of
cunning poets, deadly
courtiers, heroic
traitors, and a
Machiavellian villainess,
this is a novel
of grandeur, luxuriance,
sacrifice, betrayal,
and deeply laid
conspiracies.
