Kushiel’s Scion
Kushiel's Legacy series Book 4

by Jacqueline Carey



      Born into shame and abandonment by his parents, Imriel nó Montrève de la Courcel's life was filled with pain and sorrow. Then when he thought life couldn’t get any worse, pirates abducted him. Their demonic ways left scars on his body and soul that will remain with him forever. But through the darkest time there is light ahead, for hope and salvation comes in the form of Phedre no Delauney and her lover Joscelin. Together the two adopt him.

Although he is still haunted by the past, he learns how to see the world with new eyes. His new life has placed him third in line for the throne as a Prince of the Blood. The position is one that holds great power and prestige. But there is one who is watching his every move - his long lost Mother. She will try to use him to overthrow the throne. She alone bore him into this world and will see that he serves her purposes. He alone will be her pawn to play in a high stakes game.

Jacqueline has written a beautifully constructed novel that overflows with so much rich substance. This book has its own special blend of magic. The characters are superbly developed, the plot tightly woven, the action set at an all time adraleline high. Readers will rejoice at finding a book that offers something for everyone. Very highly recommended.
