Penric, a less than adept sorcerer is “blessed” with certain powers and a menagerie of demonic riders as the basis for those powers. Desdemona is the closest one that could be described as his familiar. Arriving in a foreign country he discovered himself immediately imprisoned. He seeks to fulfill his mission regardless of severe setbacks.
Penric’s
mission is to get a disgraced general to forgo his own country and become a
mercenary for another. The general,
despite being disgraced still cares for his country. Penric develops feelings for the general’s
sister which complicates matters.
The
book is delightfully Bujold, a mix of misapplied arcane and personal
relationships.
I recommend it.
