To protect and serve, Phèdre will once again leave her beloved homeland.įrom the sun-drenched villas of La Serenissima to the wilds of old Hellas, from a prison designed to drive the very gods mad to an island of immutable joy. And those who escaped the wrath of the mighty are not yet done with their schemes for power and revenge. The hands of the gods weigh heavily upon Phèdre's brow, and they are not yet done with their charge-for while the young queen who sits upon the throne is well loved by the people, there are those who believe that other heads should wear the crown. She survived, and lived to have others tell her story, and if they embellished the tale with fabric of mythical splendor, they weren't far off the mark. Having stumbled upon a plot that threatened the very foundations of her homeland, she gave up almost everything she held dear to save it. Phèdre has trained in the courtly arts and the talents of the bedchamber, but, above all, the ability to observe, remember, and analyze. Her bond was purchased by Anafiel Delaunay, a nobleman with a very special mission-and the first to recognize her for who and what she is: one pricked by Kushiel's Dart, chosen to forever experience pain and pleasure as one. Phèdre nó Delaunay is a young woman who was born with a scarlet mote in her left eye and sold into indentured servitude as a child.
