Phèdre nó Delaunay is a young courtesan-in-training marked by a scarlet fleck in her eye, a sign that she is chosen by the god Kushiel to experience pain as pleasure. Sold into an unusual apprenticeship with a nobleman who trains her as a spy and courtesan, she is drawn into dangerous court intrigue and a conspiracy that threatens her homeland. Her journey takes her from palace bedchambers to enemy territory, testing her wits, loyalty, and endurance.
