The Terre d’Ange land was immensely beautiful. The inhabiting race of the place came from the seed of angels and humans. They all lived with one simple rule of life and that was ‘love as thou wilt.’ Phedro was a young girl and she was sold into servitude at a very young age. A nobleman purchased her bond and he was the first person to recognize that Phedro is the one pierced by Kushiel’s Dart. And, she is the one chosen to experience pleasure and pain as one forever. The nobleman trained Phedro in the courtly arts and she developed some amazing skills apart from just courtesan.
