Won the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Adult Literature (2002). Also shortlisted or longlisted for 3 other awards.

Cazaril, once a courtier and a soldier, returns broken and penniless after years as a galley slave to the noble household where he served as a page, hoping for nothing more than a quiet job in the kitchens. Instead, the Dowager Provincara makes him secretary-tutor to her granddaughter, the spirited Royesse Iselle, sister of the heir to the throne of Chalion. Iselle is soon summoned to the royal court in Cardegoss, and Cazaril must follow her into a world of scheming lords and deadly intrigue - where he finds himself facing the very men who once sold him into slavery, and a dark curse that lies over the royal house itself.
