Summary

An unholy attack upon his brother-in-law, General Arisaydia, pitches sorcerer Learned Penric and his Temple demon, Desdemona, headlong into the snake pit of Cedonian imperial politics. But they will not travel alone. The mission from his god brings Penric some of his strangest new allies yet and the return of some of his most valued old ones.

This novel-length story takes place two years after the events of The Physicians of Vilnoc.

Penric and Desdemona, even better.

A novel lenght story in the light hearted and enjoyable fantasy world of the five gods. I liked the greater depth possible in a novel, also with more twists and a satisfying end.
