Ista, Chalion's dowager royina recently released from a long-standing curse, undertakes a pilgrimage with, among others, an impious priest and a horse-woman turned handmaiden. The journey and its many challenges and discoveries change Ista's life. This wise novel about love, loss, and life's many mysteries, set against the backdrop of a world with demons and 5 gods -- won both the Hugo and Nebula Award for Best Novel. This novel can be read as a stand-alone but it's well worth the time to read all three novels in Bujold's series: THE CURSE OF CHALION, PALADIN OF SOULS, and THE HALLOWED HUNT.
