“A novella filled with a satisfying blend of strong characters and wry humor.”
Publishers Weekly on Penric’s Demon
In his thirtieth 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.
