KUSHIEL'S DART
I am utterly enchanted by this book! It is a triology, that takes place in the land of Terre D'Ange, where divine blood flows in the veins of men and women. D'Angelines trace their decent from Blessed Elua, child of Yeshua ben Yosef and the Magdalene, and from his company of companion angels, who abandoned heaven to follow him. More beautiful than other human beings, more gifted, freer of mind and body, D'Angelines live by Elua's precept: Love as thou wilt.

Phèdre, unwanted child of a former adept of the opulent pleasure houses of the Night Court, is born with a red mote in her eye. To most, this is an unsightly flaw. Only a few understand its rare, true meaning: Phèdre is an anguisette, chosen victim of Kushiel, angel of chastisement, called to receive pleasure in the form of pain. One who recognizes Phèdre's value is Anafiel Delaunay, a nobleman with a false name and a secret past. He purchases her indenture, and sets about training her as a singular and special courtesan -- and also as a spy, to serve his enigmatic quest for knowledge within the glittering tangle of D'Angeline court politics.
This big, bold novel is a skillful blending of several forms -- part epic adventure, part erotic odyssey, part chronicle of political intrigue. Although, I would recommend it to readers, I should forewarn you that there are very detailed and explicit sexual scenes that are for very mature readers.
