The Land of Angels is a land of unsurpassed beauty and grandeur. According to legend, angels, having come to this earth, found it beautiful and hospitable... and the race, descended from the seed of angels and people, has long lived by one simple rule: “Love according to your will.” Phaedra but Delaunay is a girl, born with a red spot in her left eye. Sold into bondage as a child, she was bought by Anaphiel Delaunay, a noble gentleman with a special mission. It was he who was the first to understand who his ward was: marked by Kushiel's Arrow, chosen to find the greatest pleasure in pain. Phaedra equally comprehended courtly manners and the art of carnal love, but above all she developed the ability to observe, remember and analyze. Having become as talented a spy as she is a courtesan, Phaedra faces a conspiracy that threatens the unshakable foundations of her homeland. And the discovered betrayal pushes her on the path of truth, love and honor. A path that will lead her to the brink of despair... and even force her to cross this line. A hated friend, a beloved enemy, a beloved killer - in this world they all wear equally brilliant masks, and Phaedra will have the only chance to save everything that is dear to her. A world of sycophantic poets, predatory courtiers, heroic traitors and truly Machiavellian villains - this is Arrow Kushiel", a novel about splendor, luxury, sacrifice, betrayal and a clever web of conspiracy. Not since Dune has there been an epic saga of such magnitude - a beautiful story about the cruel death of an old era and the birth of a new one.
