Publisher's Summary
The second book in the Kushiel's Legacy trilogy, Kushiel’s Chosen by Jacqueline Carey is a sweeping fantasy of romance, luxuriance and intrigue – perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer L. Armentrout.
Temptress. Traitor. Tormentor.
Phèdre was trained as a spy, courtesan and strategist under her tutor’s watchful eye. He also saw she’d been touched by the god Kushiel’s dart, chosen to experience pain and pleasure as one. Above all, he taught Phèdre to observe and analyse – skills that may yet save her life.
Once before, Phèdre sacrificed everything to save her country, but the gods still cast a shadow over her land. For while their young queen is beloved by her people, traitors remain. Those who want others on the throne and aren’t done with schemes for power and revenge. To do her duty, Phèdre must again leave her homeland – only to uncover an earth-shattering plot. One masterminded by the one person she can’t deny. . .
Start the journey with Kushiel’s Dart, and finish with Kushiel’s Avatar.
Critic Reviews
"Kushiel’s Chosen is elegant, intricate, sensual, and captivating. Once you pick it up you won’t want to put it down." (Robert Jordan)
"Jacqueline Carey has a flair for creating Machiavellian plots... From the first page I shivered with anticipation, with delight, with awe that a new author could best her breathtaking debut novel. Ms Carey’s alternate Renaissance period is perfection." (Romantic Times)
"Carey’s second extravagantly sensuous novel fulfils every promise made by Kushiel’s Dart... There is seemingly something for everyone here: a great love story, intense spirituality, high eroticism, and lots of adventure, intrigue and swordplay." (Booklist starred review)

Amazing Story and Voiceover
This is action packed, has amazing world and character building and I couldn't stop listening to it. Extremely well written and performed. So many layers that I never guessed at. Heartbreaking and beautiful.

Such a beautiful adventure, this series has me so hooked! I'm sad to think there is only one more book left.

Romantasy, intrigue and adventure
Great story, have read these books years ago and I loved to hear them again. Narrator’s pronunciations of main characters and places differs from the cassiel’s servant audiobook which is disappointing. Although it may be correct her pronunciation of Joscelin made me cringe. Overall a great book and clear audio.
