Synopsis
The author of the New York Times bestselling Kushiel fantasy series returns with an all-new saga set in her brilliantly imagined Renaissance world and featuring Moirin, whose divine gifts prove to be crucial as she comes up against an ambitious mage, a noble warrior princess desperate to save her father's throne, and the spirit of a celestial dragon.
Publishers Weekly
The seventh installment in Carey's bestselling Kushiel series (after 2008's Kushiel's Mercy) follows its youthful protagonist, Moirim, from bed to bed as she worships sexuality goddess Naamah. Following a tragic affair, Moirim travels to Terre d'Ange, this world's France. There she takes a variety of lovers, from the aristocratic occultist Raphael de Mereliot to Queen Jehanne herself. The elderly but wise Lo Feng befriends Moirim and leads her to the distant land of Ch'in and the true love of her life, the gruff but affectionate ex-bandit Bao. Moirim and her friends endeavor to save the Ch'in emperor's daughter Snow Tiger from a curse, but their efforts come at terrible costs, not least of which is the certainty of multiple sequels. Carey's triumph as a writer lies in her ability to turn these stock-nearly stereotyped-components into an engaging, fascinating novel. (July)

Engrossing As Usualby mistybraintree

November 22, 2009: Every one of the books in Kushiel's Legacy Series has been wonderful! This is no exception. I was immediately pulled in and engrossed in Moirin's world. Ms. Carey's descriptions and characters are so full and lifelike that I hate to leave them, no matter how long I've been reading. I found this trilogy easier to get into than the first one in the Imriel set. As always when I've been reading a book in this series, I woke up each morning anxious to get back into the book and see where Ms. Carey would take me. I can not wait for the next one to come out!
