Stolen, tortured and enslaved as a young boy, Imriel is now a Prince of the Blood; third in line for the throne in a land that revels in art, beauty and desire. It is a court steeped in deeply laid conspiracies...and there are many who would see the young prince dead. Some despise him out of hatred for his mother, Melisande, who nearly destroyed the entire realm in her quest for power. Others because they fear he has inherited his mother's irresistible allure...and her dangerous gifts. As he comes of age, plagued by unwanted desires, Imriel shares their fears. When a simple act of friendship traps Imriel in a besieged city where the infamous Melisande is worshiped as a goddess and where a dead man leads an army, the Prince must face his greatest test: to find his true self. 39896 book 2005 Kushiel's Scion (Kushiel's Legacy, #4) total:2300|5:878|4:865|3:469|2:78|1:10| 2300 9423 3159 158 153007 044661002X 9780446610025 2159 138 4.10 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172247428m/153007.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/153007.Kushiel_s_Scion 4 1 false Thu Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Tue Sep 18 23:24:50 -0700 2007 Tue Sep 18 23:25:14 -0700 2007 more...]]> 40214 044650002X 9780446500029 134 17 4.10 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1169432514m/40214.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40214.Kushiel_s_Scion 5 2 false Sat Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Sat Jun 09 07:33:21 -0700 2007 Sat Jun 09 07:38:19 -0700 2007 Jacqueline Carey would be writing any more in her Kushiel universe, and was thrilled to find that she's continued in a new trilogy centering on Imriel de la Courcel.
