Paladin of Souls: A Novel (Chalion Book 2)
📚 Why We Recommend ItThree years after breaking free from the curse of madness that caged her, Dowager Royina Ista thought freedom was hers to claim. But destiny is never a simple "escape." When the former queen sets out on a pilgrimage, her path doesn’t just traverse dust and roads—it treads on a web woven long ago by the gods.
To the north, the fortress of Porifors holds echoes of war; beyond the border, eyes linger in the shadows—human, demon, or the inscrutable gods themselves? A sudden attack throws a mysterious, berserker-like warrior into her journey, and the dark secrets of his castle twist into the guilt she’s buried deep. Ista thinks she’s choosing her way, but she’s long been a pawn of the divine—just as she was when her land teetered on ruin three years before.
This isn’t mere fantasy. It’s the clash of freedom and fate, of personal regret against the will of gods. And Lois McMaster Bujold—legendary winner of Hugos and Nebulas—proves once more that in her worlds, even the gods’ games brim with the raw, unyielding light of humanity.
