And we're back!

The next meeting of the Dallas Public Library's Sci-fi & Fantasy Book Club will be on Thursday, March 4th at 6:00 pm. The aim of this club is to be open and accessible to everyone, and to read as many sci-fi & fantasy works from diverse authors as we can.

 

This month we're reading The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold. 

A man broken in body and spirit, Cazaril returns to the noble household he once served as page and is named secretary-tutor to the beautiful, strong-willed sister of the impetuous boy who is next in line to rule. It is an assignment Cazaril dreads, for it must ultimately lead him to the place he most fears: the royal court of Cardegoss, where the powerful enemies who once placed him in chains now occupy lofty positions.

But it is more than the traitorous intrigues of villains that threaten Cazaril and the Royesse Iselle here, for a sinister curse hangs like a sword over the entire blighted House of Chalion. And only by employing the darkest, most forbidden of magics can Cazaril hope to protect his royal charge -- an act that will mark him as a tool of the miraculous . . . and trap him in a lethal maze of demonic paradox.
