Phedre no 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 Phedre has never forgotten her childhood friend Hyacinthe, who struck a bargain with the gods to save Phedre...and their nation. She is determined to seize one last hope to bring him back. Her quest will bring Phedre 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.
