Kushiel's Justice

Imriel de la Courcel's blood parents are history's most reviled traitors, while his adoptive parents, Phèdre and Joscelin, are Terre d'Ange's greatest champions. Stolen, tortured, and enslaved as a young boy, Imriel is now a Prince of the Blood, third in line for the throne in a land that revels in beauty, art, and desire. After a year abroad to study at university, Imriel returns from his adventures a little older and somewhat wiser. But perhaps not wise enough. What was once a mere spark of interest between himself and his cousin Sidonie now ignites into a white-hot blaze. But from commoner to peer, the whole realm would recoil from any alliance between Sidonie, heir to the throne, and Imriel, who bears the stigma of his mother's misdeeds and betrayals. Praying that their passion will peak and fade, Imriel and Sidonie embark on an intense, secret affair. Blessed Elua founded Terre d'Ange and bestowed one simple precept to guide his people, love as thou wilt. When duty calls, Imriel honors his role as a member of the royal family by leaving to marry a lovely, if merely sweet, Alban princess. By choosing duty over love, Imriel and Sidonie may have unwittingly trespassed against Elua's law. But when dark powers in Alba, who fear an invasion by Terre d'Ange, seek to use the lovers' passion to bind Imriel, the gods themselves take notice. Before the end, Kushiel's justice will be felt in heaven and on earth. See more like this in our Fantasy ebooks section

Kushiel's Justice

Chapter One

By the time I was eighteen years of age-almost nineteen- I'd been many things. I'd been an orphan, a goatherd, and a slave. I'd been a missing prince, lost and found. I'd been a traitor's son and a heroine's. I'd been a scholar, a lover, and a soldier.

All of these were true, more or less.

Betimes it seemed impossible that one person's mere flesh could contain so many selves. Mine did, though. I was Prince Imriel de la Courcel, third in line for the throne of Terre d'Ange, betrothed to wed a princess of Alba and beget heirs to that kingdom with her. And, too, I was Imriel n� Montr�ve, adopted son of Comtesse Ph�dre n� Delaunay de Montr�ve and her consort, Joscelin Verreuil.

Imriel. Imri, to a few.

When I gained my age of majority, eighteen, I tried to flee myself. My selves. I went to the University of Tiberium in Caerdicca Unitas, where no one knew me, and played at being a scholar. There I found friendship, passion, and intrigue. I found myself targeted by an enemy not of my making, and I dealt with it on my own terms. I found myself caught on the wrong side of a siege, and ... read full excerpt from: Kushiel's Justice ebook

	2 04/16/2009
Reviewer: Sabrina Slager from alkmaar, NA NL
I enjoyed this book, as I enjoyed all of Jacqueline Carey's books. Like the first four books in the series, this is a well thought out story with great political intrigue and interesting adventures. Imriel's story continues, and just like in Kushiel's Scion, his life is as full of adventure as Phedre's. While the story is about Imriel, we are still able to peek into Phedre's and Joscelin's lives. Imriel, in his own right, captures your heart as surely as Phedre did. This was an excellent addition the Kushiel series and leaves you wanting to know what happens next in Imriel and Sidonie's future. I recommend reading the novels in order first, to better understand the past experiences of the protagonist, Imriel, but it is written with enough reference that it would still be extremely enjoyable without knowing the prior story.
