In a fantasy world where pleasure is sacred, Phedre is a sought-after courtesan with a dangerous gift - her body bears the "marque" of the god Kushiel, making her uniquely vulnerable to pain and pleasure. Caught in a web of court intrigue, she becomes a reluctant spy, using her beauty and cunning to uncover a deadly conspiracy. As shadowy foes close in, Phedre must rely on her courage and unorthodox allies to protect all she holds dear.
