Книга: Curse of Chalion, The (Проклятие Халиона)

Amidst the decaying splendour and poisonous intrigue of Chalion's ancient capital, Cardegoss, Lord Cazaril is forced to encounter both old enemies and surprising allies as he seeks to lift the curse of misfortune that clings to the royal family of Chalion, and to all who come too close to them. Lois McMaster Bujold has won the Hugo award four times, and the Nebula award twice. In this, her first epic fantasy, we join Cazaril -- a former soldier, and courtier who is about to embark on a perilous journey, rife with lethal treacheries, demonic magic, and scheming characters.
