Book one of the kushiel books
Phedre no Delaunay is a young woman who was born with a scarlet mote in her left eye. sold inot indentured servitude as a child, her bond is purchased by Anafiel Delaunay, a nobleman with a very special mission...and the first one to recognize who and what she is: one pricked by Kushiel's Dart, chosen forever to experience pain and pleasure as one.
Phedre is trained equally in the courtly arts and the talents of the bedchamber, but, above all, the ability to observe, remember, and analyze. Almost as talented a spy as she is courtesan, Phedre stumbles upon a plot that threatens the very foundation of her homeland. Treachery sets her on her path, love and honor goad her further. And in the doing, it will take her to the edge of despair...and beyond. Hateful friend, loving enemy beloved assassin: they can all wear the same glittering mask in this world, and Phedre will get but one chance to save all that she hold dear.
