Kushiel's Justice

Synopsis: From Jacqueline Carey, New York Times bestselling author of Kushiel's Scion , comes the second adventure in the Imriel trilogy. Imriel de la Courcel's blood parents are history's most reviled traitors, w hile his adoptive parents, Phdre and Joscelin, are Terre d'Ange's greatest champions. Stolen, tortured, and enslaved as a young boy, Imriel is now a Prince of the Blood, third in line for the throne in a land that revels in beauty, art, and desire. After a year abroad to study at university, Imriel returns from his adventu res a little older and somewhat wiser. But perhaps not wise enough. What wa s once a mere spark of interest between himself and his cousin Sidonie now ignites into a white-hot blaze. But from commoner to peer, the whole realm would recoil from any alliance between Sidonie, heir to the throne, and Imr iel, who bears the stigma of his mother's misdeeds and betrayals. Praying t hat their passion will peak and fade, Imriel and Sidonie embark on an inten se, secret affair. Blessed Elua founded Terre d'Ange and bestowed one simple precept to guide his people: Love as thou wilt. When duty calls, Imriel honors his role as a member of the royal family by leaving to marry a lovely, if merely sweet, Alban princess. By choosing duty over love, Imriel and Sidonie may have unw ittingly trespassed against Elua's law. But when dark powers in Alba, who f ear an invasion by Terre d'Ange, seek to use the lovers' passion to bind Im riel, the gods themselves take notice. Before the end, Kushiel's justice will be felt in heaven and on earth.
