About this ebook

“Bujold builds a better fantasy romance with compelling characters and the fascinating clash between their cultures, she a farmer’s daughter, he an adventurer on the trail of a deadly demon.”—Locus

One of the most respected writers in the field of speculative fiction, Lois McMaster Bujold has won numerous accolades and awards, including the Nebula and Locus Awards as well as the fantasy and science fiction genre’s most prestigious honor, the Hugo Award for Best Novel, four times (most recently for Paladin of Souls). With The Sharing Knife series, Bujold creates a brand new world fraught with peril, and spins an extraordinary romance between a young farm girl and the brave sorcerer-soldier entrusted with the defense of the land against a plague of vicious malevolent beings. Meet Fawn Bluefield and Dag Redwing Hickory in Beguilement, the first book in Bujold’s unforgettable four-volume fantasy saga, and witness the birth of their dangerous romance—a love threatened by prejudice and perilous magic, and by Dag’s sworn duty as Lakewalker patroller and necromancer.

I loved this whole series so much I found the first editions of each of them for my library. I love the characters of Dag and Fawn. I love that they are real people with real strengths and flaws, both! This series fascinates me because it is so different from anything I've ever read. I feel like they are traveling around the midWest, which is not at all common in fantasy worlds!

I read this book over a period of 3-5 days, a ravenous pace for me. I was giggling pretty much the entire way through, and I can't wait to get my hands on the next book so I can giggle just as hard. PS, Dag is such a dork.
