Embarquez pour un voyage épique de fantasy dans le pays de Terre d'Ange, un royaume né d'anges et d'hommes, guidé par le précepte : Aime comme tu veux. Suivez la vie extraordinaire de Phèdre nó Delaunay, marquée par le Dard de Kushiel, destinée à éprouver la douleur et le plaisir comme une seule chose. Ses dons uniques l'attirent dans un monde d'intrigues politiques, de désirs interdits et de conflits cosmiques. Cette série explore les thèmes du courage, de l'identité et de la danse complexe entre la dévotion et la trahison.
Sold into servitude in the pagan splendour of the Night Court as a child, Phedre no Delaunay is a woman who struggles for honour and duty, whose loyalty to the land she loves will take her to the edge of despair, and beyond.
The land of Terre d'Ange is a place of unsurpassed beauty and grace. It is said that the angels found the land and saw it was good, and the ensuing race that rose from the union of angels and men live by one simple rule: Love as thou wilt.
Kushiel's Avatar is the concluding volume in Jacqueline Carey's evocative novels about the enigmatic Phèdre nó Delaunay; the third in a triptych of beautifully constructed historical fantasies that combine passion and danger, great battles of the sword and soul, deep eroticism, and mystical enigmas. Phèdre nó Delaunay was chosen to forever experience pain and pleasure as one. Her path has been strange and dangerous, but through it all the devoted swordsman Joscelin has been at her side. But Phèdre has never forgotten her childhood friend Hyacinthe, who struck a bargain with the gods to save Phèdre...and their nation. She is determined to seize one last hope to bring him back. Her quest will bring Phèdre and Joscelin across the world, to distant courts where madness reigns and souls are currency, down a fabled river to a land forgotten by most of the world. And to a power so mighty that none dare speak its name.
