'Rich, intricate worldbuilding meets swoonworthy romance. . . Phdre and Joscelin's story is the beating heart of every romantasy to follow' - Olivie Blake
The second book in the Kushiel's Legacy trilogy, Kushiel's Chosen by Jacqueline Carey is a sweeping fantasy of romance, luxuriance and intrigue - perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer L. Armentrout.
Temptress. Traitor. Tormentor.
Phdre was trained as a spy, courtesan and strategist under her tutor's watchful eye. He also saw she'd been touched by the god Kushiel's dart, chosen to experience pain and pleasure as one. Above all, he taught Phdre to observe and analyse - skills that may yet save her life.
Once before, Phdre sacrificed everything to save her country, but the gods still cast a shadow over her land. For while their young queen is beloved by her people, traitors remain. Those who want others on the throne and aren't done with schemes for power and revenge. To do her duty, Phdre must again leave her homeland - only to uncover an earth-shattering plot. One masterminded by the one person she can't deny. . .
