Ponorte sa do sveta Terre d'Ange, krajiny stvorenej anjelmi a ľuďmi, kde platí jediný zákon: Miluj, ako chceš. Táto epická fantasy sleduje osudy Phèdre nó Delaunay, ktorá bola obdarená Kushielovým šípom, takže pre ňu bolesť a rozkoš splývajú v jedno. Jej jedinečné schopnosti ju uvrhnú do zložitých intríg a nebezpečných konfliktov, ktoré ohrozujú samotnú podstatu jej sveta. Je to príbeh o odvahe, vernosti a hľadaní vlastnej cesty v labyrinte vášne a zrady.
Sold into servitude in the pagan splendour of the Night Court as a child, Phedre no Delaunay is a woman who struggles for honour and duty, whose loyalty to the land she loves will take her to the edge of despair, and beyond.
The land of Terre d'Ange is a place of unsurpassed beauty and grace. It is said that the angels found the land and saw it was good, and the ensuing race that rose from the union of angels and men live by one simple rule: Love as thou wilt.
Kushiel's Avatar is the concluding volume in Jacqueline Carey's evocative novels about the enigmatic Phèdre nó Delaunay; the third in a triptych of beautifully constructed historical fantasies that combine passion and danger, great battles of the sword and soul, deep eroticism, and mystical enigmas. Phèdre nó Delaunay was chosen to forever experience pain and pleasure as one. Her path has been strange and dangerous, but through it all the devoted swordsman Joscelin has been at her side. But Phèdre has never forgotten her childhood friend Hyacinthe, who struck a bargain with the gods to save Phèdre...and their nation. She is determined to seize one last hope to bring him back. Her quest will bring Phèdre and Joscelin across the world, to distant courts where madness reigns and souls are currency, down a fabled river to a land forgotten by most of the world. And to a power so mighty that none dare speak its name.
