Summary
In KUSHIEL'S DART, Phedre no Delaunay, a courtesan who takes pleasure in receiving pain-and who is also an accomplished spy-managed to preserve the Queen of Terre d'Ange's throne against the traitor Melisande Shahrizai and an invading force of the barbaric Skaldi. But Melisande escaped from the royal custody, and now she has sent Phedre a teasing indication that she is hiding in the neighboring country of La Serenissima. So Phedre must use all the considerable skills she has at her disposal-both sexual and in espionage-to ferret out the beautiful, infinitely dangerous noblewoman before she launches another assault on Queen Ysandre's rule.
