Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline CareyCopied Blurb:

The land of Terre d'Ange is a place of unsurpassing beauty and grace. It is said that angels found the land and saw it was good...and the ensuing race that rose from the seed of angels and men live by one simple rule: Love as thou wilt.

Phèdre nó Delaunay is a young woman who was born with a scarlet mote in her left eye. Sold into indentured servitude as a child, her bond is purchased by Anafiel Delaunay, a nobleman with very a special mission...and the first one to recognize who and what she is: one pricked by Kushiel's Dart, chosen to forever experience pain and pleasure as one.

Kushiel's Justice

This is the second book in the second trilogy of Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel series.  It was deeply touching.  I couldn't put it down.  It's almost 900 pages long, making it one of the longest books I've read in a while.

Rating: Excellent

This is a gorgeous book...emerging after close to 900 pages I'm not quite sure what to do with myself, other than to wait for the next one to come out in paperback.

Carey's latest sees the protagonist, Imriel, son of a traitor, through a forbidden love, an arranged marriage, and a quest for revenge. Much of the book is a poignant look at grief and loss, and healing through love.
