Book 3 of the Kushiel books
Phedre no 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 sworedsman 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 serve and protect.
but Phedre'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 witht he gods-to take Phedre's place as a sacrifice and save a nation. Phedre cannot forgive-herself or the gods. She is determined to seize on last hope to redeem her friend, even if it means her death. THe search will bring Phedre 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 mithty that none dare speak its name.
