When Sybella arrived at the doorstep of St Mortain half mad with grief and despair, the convent was only too happy to offer her refuge - but at a price. The sisters of this convent serve Death, and with Sybella naturally skilled in both the arts of death and seduction, she could become one of their most dangerous weapons yet.
But her assassin's skills are little comfort when the convent returns her to the life that nearly drove her mad. Her father's rage and brutality is terrifying, and her brother's love is equally monstrous. But when Sybella discovers an unexpected ally she discovers that a daughter of Death may find something other than vengeance to live for . . .
Action, courtly intrigue, supernatural and a beautifully written romance to bewitch fans of Sarah J. Maas and Holly Black.
1. A lot darker than Grave Mercy. I wasn't expecting it. 2. I loved that the love interest wasn't a good looking, typical guy. I admired her for seeing past all that. 3. I was really creeped out by the brother, Julian. I didn't like his ending very much. 4. All the villains were pretty creepy. 5. I loved seeing Ismae around. I wished we had seen more of her though. 6. Really, really enjoyed this book despite being new characters.
