After the events of Penric and the Shaman, sorcerer Learned Penric and temple demon Desdemona continue their journey, landing at Easthome, the Weald's capital. There Penric meets old friends Shaman Inglis and Locator Oswyl, who soon calls upon Penric and Inglis to help him investigate the murder of a sorceress whose body was discovered in the woods. With the dead woman's demon missing, Pen also must find where the creature may have landed. Working with Inglis and Oswyl, he gradually begins to uncover the truth that involves old family secrets and the curious cases of temple demons. With each novella adventure, Bujold continues to expand her "Five Gods" world, reviving familiar faces along the way. The fascinating relationship between Penric and Desdemona is especially fun.
VERDICT Bujold's many faithful readers will delight in this engaging blend of mystery and magic.
