Dark & Epic Fantasy
by Lois McMaster Bujold
A broken soldier returns to serve as secretary to a young princess in a court filled with political intrigue and divine curses. The intervention of capricious gods and personal sacrifice determine the fate of a kingdom as the protagonist navigates theology made manifest and the price of redemption. Bujold crafts a deeply human fantasy where divine power demands mortal courage.
