Penric's Mission (Penric & Desdemona)

Penric's Mission (Penric & Desdemona)

In his thirtieth year, Penric fell in love with light...

Learned Penric, a sorcerer and divine of the Bastardâ€™s Order, travels across the sea to sunlit Cedonia on his first covert diplomatic mission, to attempt to secure the services of a disaffected Cedonian general for the Duke of Adria. However, nothing is as it seems: Penric is betrayed and thrown into a dungeon, and worse follows for the general and his kin. Penricâ€™s narrow escapes and adventures â€” including his interest in a young widow â€” are told with Bujoldâ€™s remarkable energy, wit and humor. Once again, Bujold has created unforgettable characters and a wondrous, often dangerous world of intrigue and sorcery. Third novella in the Penric and Desdemona series.

Booklist:
â€œBujold's reworking of a classic romantic situation is distinguished by its setting in a well-crafted world and masterly creation of characters whose fates will keep readers turning the pages.â€ (re THE HALLOWED HUNT)
