The lush epic fantasy that inspired a generation with a single precept: “Love as Thou Wilt."
Returning to the realm of Terre d’Ange, which captured an entire generation of fantasy fans, New York Times bestselling author Jacqueline Carey brings us a hero’s journey for a new era.
In Kushiel’s Dart, a daring young courtesan uncovered a plot to destroy her beloved homeland. But hers is only half the tale. Now see the other half of the heart that lived it.
Cassiel’s Servant is a retelling of cult favorite Kushiel’s Dart from the point of view of Joscelin, Cassiline warrior-priest and protector of Phèdre nó Delaunay. He’s sworn to celibacy and the blade as surely as she’s pledged to pleasure, but the gods they serve have bound them together. When both are betrayed, they must rely on each other to survive.
From his earliest training to captivity amongst their enemies, his journey with Phèdre to avert the conquest of Terre D’Ange shatters body and mind… and brings him an impossible love that he will do anything to keep.
Even if it means breaking all vows and losing his soul.
“Decadent and dark, Cassiel’s Servant reveals the secrets of the mysterious Cassiline brotherhood. In this gorgeously realized novel, Carey returns to the world of Terre d’Ange and offers us a new and dazzling perspective on a character we thought we knew.”—Nghi Vo, author of The Chosen and the Beautiful and Siren Queen

“Lovingly appl[ies] a full painter’s palette to what had previously been only sketched. Carey proves she has lost none of her inimitable style nor her ability to fully realize characters; devoted fans will revel in getting Joscelin’s backstory.”—Publishers Weekly
Praise for the Kushiel's Legacy trilogy
“Rich, intricate worldbuilding meets swoonworthy romance. A tangled web of politics and desire … A modern classic. Phédre and Joscelin's story is the beating heart of every romantasy to follow.” —Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author
Praise for Kushiel's Dart
“A very sophisticated fantasy, intricately plotted and a fascinating read.”—Robert Jordan

“A complex saga worthy of the field's best writer on such a scale, George R. R. Martin.”—Locus
“Stunning, clever, sultry and mysterious, Phedre is an ideal and original heroine.”—Associated Press
“Sexy and sometimes shocking, if you don't mind your eyeballs popping out every couple of chapters, this is a swell tale.”—The Detroit Free Press
“The author’s sensual prose should appeal to fans of Tanith Lee, Storm Constantine, and Terry Goodkind.”—Library Journal on Kushiel's Dart

This is the same story but told from the viewpoint of Jocelyn instead of Phedre and so there is a fair bit of overlap.
I found it a really interesting listen as it fills in some background on how Jocelyn came to be a guard for Phedre and how he grew into the role.
Its a really good listen even if having read Kushiel's Dart you know exactly where it is going and what is going to happen
Narration is first class.
Good retelling from another viewpoint

This wonderful rendition of a different pint of view of boom one in the series is so good it adds to the series, and yet can be a stand alone story. it was a wonder listen and took me on such adventures. I was not disappointed and felt such a beautiful connection and closure when it came to the end. 5 stars for this audio book.
What a wonderful 5 star listen. wonderful as a stand alone or in the series.
