À propos de cet audio
Amidst the decaying splendor and poisonous intrigue of Chalion's ancient capital, Cazaril is forced to confront not only powerful enemies but also the malignant curse that clings to the royal household, trapping him, flesh and soul, in a maze of demonic paradox, damnation, and death for as long as he dares walk the five-fold pathway of the gods.

The half-mad Prince Boleso has been slain by a noblewoman he had intended to defile. It falls to Lord Ingrey kin Wilfcliff to transport the prince to his burial place and to bring the accused killer, Lady Ijada, to judgment. The road he travels with his burden and his prisoner is fraught with danger. But in the midst of political chaos, magic has the fiercer hold on Ingrey's destiny, and Ijada herself may turn out to be the only one he dares trust.

Leo Graf was just your average highly efficient engineer: mind your own business, fix what's wrong, and move on to the next job. But all that changed on his assignment to the Cay Habitat, where a group of humanoids had been secretly, commercially bioengineered for working in free fall. Could he just stand there and allow the exploitation of hundreds of helpless children merely to enhance the bottom line of a heartless mega-corporation?

Ce que les critiques en disent
"Bujold weaves a convincing and captivating fantasy world, well researched, with magic that works and gods that live without destroying the balance of this medieval society....A finely balanced mixture of adventure, swordplay, court intrigue, romance, magic, and religion makes this book a delightful read." (School Library Journal)
Loved it!

I now consider myself a Lay Dedicat of the Bastard. The God of Chaos and disasters out of season has clearly been around in my life. :)
This book changed my thinking completely

Dealing with intrigue (political mostly), traitors, death threats - this is a superb, well written story.
This is one of my favourite Bujold novels. I love the world building, the politics, but mostly how well divinity is worked into this novel. The world is imbuded with religous feast days, but the pantheistic religion is not a solace to the protagonists. I just delight in reading how the individual characters live while being touched (or abandoned) by one the of the five gods.
Personally the sub plot romance was totally unecessary and, disquieting age disparity aside, there is little chemistry, plus no real reason for it as it does not serve the plot.
BTW: this novel is why I joined audible, after borrowing the audio (repeatedly) from the library I needed a copy of my own. Lloyd James does not so much narrate this novel as perform it. Truly amazing experience to listen to this audio.
Superb fantasy novel, amazing audio listen
