Summary

In his 30th year, Penric fell in love with light.

Learned Penric, a sorcerer and divine of the Bastard's Order, travels across the sea to sunlit Cedonia on his first covert diplomatic mission, to attempt to secure the services of a disaffected Cedonian general for the Duke of Adria. However, nothing is as it seems. Penric is betrayed and thrown into a dungeon, and worse follows for the general and his kin.

Penric's narrow escapes and adventures - including his interest in a young widow - are told with Bujold's remarkable energy, wit, and humor. Once again, Bujold has created unforgettable characters and a wondrous, often dangerous world of intrigue and sorcery.

An Excellent Five God's Novella

I love all Bujold's writing, and Grover Gardiner's reading is smooth and nuanced. An excellent novella in the Five God's series.

Penric and Desdemona - a formidable team

I love how the “pair” get out of scrapes together. They each work to their strengths and neither is too overbearing as to impose their will on the other.
