The story is by Dorothy Dunnett. It starts in _Game of Kings_, but I was referring to something that doesn't really make sense for 4 or 5 books. If you like historical fiction and badly-hurt characters carrying on heroically in impossible situations, you might enjoy it. You need a good tolerance for unreliable narration and adjective overload, though.
If you tend to be overwhelmed in bad ways by disturbing scenes in books, I should warn you that Dunnett has several of them in different directions. (Though I thought she flinched from the really disturbing scenario at the end, after spending 6 books setting it up.) Let me know if you want more details.
No, actually, come to think of it, I've been vaguely meaning to get around to reading Dunnett eventually, and while I'm not totally spoiler-phobic, I do like to explore books on my own.
So, thank you for /not/ providing details, in this case.
