Reviews "Carey dismantles standard notions of both magic and morality to produce a long, complex saga worthy of the field's best writer on such a scale, George R. R. Martin." - Locus "A breathtaking epic starring an unflinching yet poignantly vulnerable heroine and a deft treatment of alternative sexual practices, the sacred potential inherent in every sexual encounter." - Booklist , starred review"Superbly detailed, fascinatingly textured, and sometimes unbearably intense; a resonant, deeply satisfying, and altogether remarkable novel." - Kirkus Reviews , starred review, "A very sophisticated fantasy, intricately plotted and a fascinating read." --Robert Jordan "This brilliant and daring debut catapults Carey immediately into the top rank of fantasy novelists . . . . At the end, the heroine reminds one of an equally strong-minded sister whose home was Tara." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)

SynopsisWhen Love cast me out, it was Cruelty who took pity on me. In a kingdom born of angels, Phedre is an anguisette, cursed or blessed to find pleasure in pain. Sold to the Court of Night Blooming Flowers, her fate as a beautiful but anonymous courtesan was sealed. Her bond was purchased by the nobleman Anafiel Delauney, who recognized the scarlet mote in Phedre's eye as the rare mark of one touched by a powerful deity. Under Delauney's patronage she is trained in history, politics, language, and the use of body and mind as the ultimate weapon of subterfuge in a dangerous game of courtly intrigue. Guided into the bed chambers of Terre D'Ange's most influential nobles, Phedre uncovers a conspiracy against the throne so vast that even her teacher cannot see the whole of it. As her nation is besieged by invading hordes from the north, the most unthinkable threat to her beloved home comes from traitors within. Betrayed and blindsided by her own longings, only Phedre and her trusted bodyguard Josselin are left to cross borders and warring armies in a race to stop the final blow from falling. Enter a lush world of pleasure houses, ambitious warlords, scheming courtiers, and the harsh justice of blessed deities through the eyes of a heroine like no other. Sprawling and darkly sensual, Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel's Dart is the start of a truly original fantasy series., "When Love cast me out, it was Cruelty who took pity on me."
