Kushiel's Dart

I highly recommend these three novels.

Kushiel’s Dart is the first volume of a trilogy that is part action adventure, part mystery, part romance, but is rightfully found in the science fiction/fantasy department of your book store.

The alternate universe containing the Earth of Terre d’Ange is ruled by Yahweh, the One God. But in this universe a panoply of lesser Gods are worshipped and exert power for good and evil through their worshippers. They are the source of magic.

The principle character, Phèdre, is a young woman indentured as a girl to a House of Pleasure in the land of Terre d’Ange, where the principle religious precept is “Love as thou wilt.” Prostitution is an honored profession in Terre d’Ange and Phèdre is an apprentice.

Her indenture is purchased by a master of intrigue who teachers Phèdre the arts of covertcy and recruits her as a spy. When her master hires a warrior priest, Joscelin, as her bodyguard, the principles are in place for adventure, war, suspense, intrigue, romance, and most of all love.

I read the trilogy is sequence and I was happy to discover that the story of Terre d’Ange continues.

The second and third volumes of this trilogy are:
