Penric and Desdemona. Book 1

Penric, the younger son of a poor lord, stands firmly on the ground. And although a military career or education at the capital university do not await him, he is promised a marriage to the cheesemaker's daughter and a quiet provincial life.

But one day Penric stops on the road to bestow mercy upon a dying stranger, possessed by a demon – and from that moment his fate radically changes: the nineteen-year-old young man is forced to share one body with a millennia-old spirit of chaos.

Penric will endure many adventures, dangers, and anxieties. Now he is the Enlightened, endowed with magical abilities, the chosen one of the gods, a protector of the common people from wicked beings and treacherous villains.
