In this sequel to the novella Penric's Mission, the injured Penric, a Temple sorcerer and learned divine, tries to guide the betrayed General Arisaydia and his widowed sister Nikys across the last hundred miles of hostile Cedonia to safety in the Duchy of Orbas. In the town of Sosie the fugitive party encounters unexpected delays, and even more unexpected opportunities and hazards, as the courtesan Mira of Adria, one of the ten dead women whose imprints make up the personality of the chaos demon Desdemona, comes to the fore with her own special expertise.

Another entertaining chapter in the story of Pen and Des, though definitely not a standalone story.

It had me lauging out loud a couple of times, but what I truly enjoy in these stories is how relatable and "human" the characters are, demons and all. For example, I couldn't help rooting for general Chadro even though his endeavour was doomed from the start.

It was also interesting to find out more about some of the vastly different personalities of Desdemona, and I hope there will be many more tales of Pen & Des and their adventures.
