Description
In the kingdom of Chalion, a terrible curse has plagued the royal family for generations, bringing death and despair to all who hold power. Cazaril, a broken man returning from war with nothing but his wits and a mysterious connection to the divine, takes a position as tutor to the royal children, only to discover he is uniquely positioned to confront the dark magic that threatens to destroy them all. As he uncovers the curse's origins and the sacrifices required to break it, Cazaril must navigate treacherous court politics, forbidden magic, and his own haunted past. Lois McMaster Bujold weaves a richly imagined fantasy world where personal redemption and spiritual grace intertwine with political intrigue and the struggle against overwhelming darkness. This is a tale of courage, faith, and the transformative power of love in the face of seemingly insurmountable evil.
