Penric's Mission
A Fantasy Novel by Lois McMaster Bujold
Book 5 of the World of the Five Gods: Penric & Desdemona Series
In his thirtieth year, Penric fell in love with light...
Learned Penric, a sorcerer and divine of the Bastard's Order, travels across the sea to sunlit Cedonia on his first covert diplomatic mission, to attempt to secure the services of a disaffected Cedonian general for the Duke of Adria.
However, nothing is as it seems: Penric is betrayed and thrown into a dungeon, and worse follows for the general and his kin.
Penric's narrow escapes and adventures — including his interest in a young widow — are told with Bujold's remarkable energy, wit and humor.
Once again, Bujold has created unforgettable characters and a wondrous, often dangerous world of intrigue and sorcery.
