The Curse of Chalion

Lois McMaster Bujold

Blurb from a JoCoNaut:

"It's an adult fantasy but not in the normal edgy violent sexy times way that the phrase gets used for the genre. It's a very personal story about a broken man putting his life back together and trying to work through the politics of a kingdom at the same time."
