The Curse of Chalion
"The Curse of Chalion" (2001), a novel that began the new fantasy series "The Chalion Chronicles (The World of Five Gods)", was nominated for several significant awards, received the Mythopoetic Fantasy Award, and, most importantly, delighted readers! Lupe di Cazaril,... a poor nobleman, returns to Chalion after the harsh, exhausting years of captivity on pirate galleys. He is physically drained and morally broken. It seems there is no longer a single house where a destitute, impoverished person could be received. The last hope is the provost Baocia, his former mistress, with whom he served as a page many years ago. The kindness of this woman and her fairness are undeniable, but what price will Cazaril ultimately have to pay for shelter and food? A terrible price. A price that hardly anyone of the mortals has ever paid.
