Why be the sheep when you can be the wolf?
Okay, first of all, who doesn't want to read a series called His Fair Assassin?! Sqeeee! So cool! No? Not your thing? Alright then, how about killer nuns in medieval Europe? Ahh yes, that got you, didn't it?
Ismae was only fourteen when the man she knew as her father promised her to a lecherous, old man in an arranged marriage. Through the help of a secret order, she managed to escape her husband and find refuge in the convent of St. Mortain, the God of Death. Now, at seventeen, Ismae is a trained assassin, using whatever means necessary to kill those whom her blessed Saint has marked for death. With St. Mortain for a father, Ismae has never questioned her abilities, nor her destiny. Which is why she eagerly embarks on a dangerous assignment where all of Brittany is at stake. Her mission: to watch the mysterious Gavriel Duval at court and look for opportunities to dispatch him. But what's an assassin to do when she finds herself falling for her mark?
Rich in history, romance, and political intrigue, Grave Mercy is an adventure not to be missed!
