Jacqueline Carey writes fantasy known for political intrigue, travel and relationships shaped by duty, desire and religion. Kushiel's Dart introduces Phèdre nó Delaunay in the kingdom of Terre d'Ange, where she is trained as a courtesan and spy and bears a divine mark that links pain with pleasure. The trilogy follows her through court conspiracies, diplomatic missions and war, while later Kushiel books move to new generations and protagonists in the same world. Carey has also written other fantasy and reworked Shakespeare's The Tempest in Miranda and Caliban. Her prose is rich and sensual, with politics, sexuality and theology closely intertwined. Her work fits epic fantasy, court intrigue and adult romantic fantasy. Read more Less
