Cassiel's Servant (Kushiel's Legacy #1.5)

Jacqueline Carey’s CASSIEL’S SERVANT, which retells the events of cult favorite KUSHIEL’S DART from the warrior-priest’s point of view, starting with his own childhood and training and following his epic quest to avert the conquest of Terre D’Ange.

While Joscelin sticks by Phèdre’s side almost unfailingly—aside from taking his vigils during the Longest Night while she’s at the Midwinter Masque—his experience of the events of Kushiel’s Legacy vastly differ from hers. Just as Phèdre is caught in the grip of love and cruelty of the god Kushiel, as a scion of Cassiel, Joscelin is forced to stand at the crossroads and choose, again and again, the path of the Companion.
