In this novella set in the World of the Five Gods and four years after the events in Penric's Demon, Penric is a divine of the Bastard's Order as well as a sorcerer and scholar, living in the palace where the Princess-Archdivine holds court. His scholarly work is interrupted when the Archdivine agrees to send Penric, in his role as sorcerer, to accompany a "Locator" of the Father's Order, assigned to capture Inglis, a runaway shaman charged with the murder of his best friend. However, the situation they discover in the mountains is far more complex than expected. Penric's roles as sorcerer, strategist, and counselor are all called upon before the end.

Bujold delivers an astonishing tale that is not soon forgotten.

Loved it. Light on action but big on character development and growth. If the first book was about Penric the sorcerer then this was about Penric the learned divine. The author also expanded on the world building and dived deeper into how the World of Five Gods works.

Grover Gardner is a treasure. His narration gives life to the prose as well as the characters. A very solid entry in the Penric novellas.
