Kushiel's Avatar

Rich, intricate worldbuilding meets swoonworthy romance. . . Ph�dre and Joscelin's story is the beating heart of every romantasy to follow' - Olivie Blake, author of The Atlas SixThe triumphant conclusion to this trilogy, Kushiel's Avatar by Jacqueline Carey is a sumptuous fantasy of defiance and redemption - perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer L. Armentrout. Desire. Duty. Death. Ph�dre has lain with princes and pirate kings, battled a wicked temptress, and saved two nations. But Joscelin has remained her loyal swordsman throughout. Chosen to experience pain and pleasure as one, Ph�dre's nature is tortuous to them both. Yet Joscelin has never forsaken his vow: to protect and serve, even if her plans push his pledge to its limit. For Ph�dre can't abandon her friend, Hyacinthe, who bargained with gods to spare her life. She's long sought the key to free him from eternal servitude - even if this means her death. This now takes Ph�dre and Joscelin to a distant court where madness reigns and souls are used as currency. But they'll also find a power so mighty that none dare speak its name . . . `Effortlessly rich . . . with a huge cast of well-defined characters' - Publishers Weekly`An emotionally charged tale seasoned with explicit scenes of love and sacrifice' - Romantic Times`A savoury feast for mind and heart' - Booklist starred reviewStart the journey with Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey.
