(genre fiction biblioholic) Lois McMaster Bujold is deservedly one of the most award-winning authors in the field of sci-fi and fantasy. I've read almost everything she has written, and there's *nothing* that I didn't enjoy; most of it I LOVED!

His flaws and strengths propel him and his relationships compel him to a different path. His marriage to someone who is considered inappropriate has changed many of his perceptions and he uses this to try to change h

Audiobook CD Library Edition in vinyl case. Read by Bernadette Dunne Filled with magic, heroism, and all-too-human characters, Bujold's Sharing Knife saga is both a gripping adventure and a poignant romance. In this second volume, Fawn Bluefield, the clever farm girl, and Dag Redwing Hickory, the seasoned Lakewalker soldier-sorcerer, are newly married. Their arrival at Dag's home on Hickory Lake Camp is met with prejudice and suspicion, as many in the camp deny the literal bond between Dag and Fawn, woven in blood in the Lakewalker magical way.
