On his way to his betrothal, young Lord Penric comes upon a riding accident with an elderly lady on the ground, her maidservant and guardsmen distraught. As he approaches to help, he discovers that the lady is a Temple divine, servant to the five gods of this world. Her avowed god is the Bastard, “master of all disasters out of season,” and with her dying breath she bequeaths her mysterious powers to Penric. From that moment on, Penric’s life is irreversibly changed, and his life is in danger from those who envy or fear him.
Set in the fantasy world of the author’s acclaimed novels The Curse of Chalion, Paladin of Souls, and The Hallowed Hunt, this novella has the depth of characterization and emotional complexity that distinguishes Bujold’s work.

En huvudperson som är lätt att gilla och som gör rätt val, utan att det känns tillrättalagt av författaren. Penric är helt enkelt nån jag vill tillbringa mer tid med.

Fast paced, witty, smart and full of heart like any good McMaster Bujold. A tale set in the fascinating Five Gods universe, with a new and interesting concept. Full of endearing characters that you want to meet again. Very nicely read!

Highly entertaining audiobook! The only problem is that there isnt more of it! Would have loved a whole series on this story, but as a single piece it's also a really great listen.
