"The Curse of Chalion" by Lois McMaster Bujold is on sale all around: $0.99, regular price $7.99. It is one of my favorite books, Bujold at her best, so good that I paid the full price just a couple of months ago. Well, it's good assuming that you like character-oriented, epic fantasies.

Betrayed by an unknown enemy into slavery, former soldier and courtier Lupe dy Cazaril escapes his bondage and returns to the royal household he once served. Entrusted with the teaching of the sister to the heir to the throne of Chalion, Cazaril finds himself drawn into a tangled web of politics and dark magic as he battles a curse that threatens the lives and souls of a family he has come to love. The author of the "Vorkosigan" series of dynastic sf turns her hand as competently and engagingly to the fantasy genre in a tale of quiet heroism and self-sacrifice. Compelling characters and richly detailed world building make this a strong addition to fantasy collections.
