![]() ![]() I very much enjoyed the character introduced later in the story but won’t spoil them.ĭes doesn’t get a chance to snark much, this time. Fortunately, it also has others, especially after the halfway point. So, this story had definitely a darker side. Because only the most difficult cases are brought to him and he will break himself trying to help them. While he can use his demon to speed healing, he isn’t a healer or a physician, not anymore. Pen is a scholar delighting in reading, translation, and writing. Pen desperately wants to cure everyone but one sorcerer isn’t nearly enough, especially when there are sick people not just in the military fort but in surrounding towns. Des can’t just cure the sick she can only assist their own healing and that takes days or weeks. Because he doesn’t know how it spreads, he can’t return home or he could accidentally infect his family. Pen agrees to look things over but is promptly lured into trying to cure it and find out where it came from. A mysterious disease has attacked his men, a bruising fever. Then Pen’s wife’s brother, General Arisaydia asks for Pen’s help. ![]() Des is a 200-year-old chaos demon inhabiting Pen, so not every woman could have done it. Penric’s demon Desdemona and his wife have managed to settle into an amicable relationship. Penric is enjoying domestic bliss with his wife, newborn daughter, and mother-in-law. ![]()
