"Nicely detailed and wittily accented...Here's hoping it launches a series of tales as well told as the Vorkosigan volumes." -- ALA Booklist (starred review)"This is one of the great ones." -- Science Fiction Chronicle"Bujold continues to prove what marvels genius can create out of basic space operatics." -- Booklist"First-rate . . . this is space opera at its dramatic best." -- Publishers Weekly on Memory
Betrayed by an unknown enemy into slavery, former soldier and courtier Lupe dy Cazaril escapes his bondage and returns to the royal household he once served. Entrusted with the teaching of the sister to the heir to the throne of Chalion, Cazaril finds himself drawn into a tangled web of politics and dark magic as he battles a curse that threatens the lives and souls of a family he has come to love. The author of the "Vorkosigan" series of dynastic sf turns her hand as competently and engagingly to the fantasy genre in a tale of quiet heroism and self-sacrifice. Compelling characters and richly detailed world building make this a strong addition to fantasy collections. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
