Sybella's duty as Death's assassin in 15th-century France forces her return home to the personal hell that she had finally escaped. Love and romance, history and magic, vengeance and salvation converge in this thrilling sequel to Grave Mercy.

 

Sybella arrives at the convent’s doorstep half mad with grief and despair. Those that serve Death are only too happy to offer her refuge—but at a price. The convent views Sybella, naturally skilled in the arts of both death and seduction, as one of their most dangerous weapons. But those assassin's skills are little comfort when the convent returns her to a life that nearly drove her mad. And while Sybella is a weapon of justice wrought by the god of Death himself, He must give her a reason to live. When she discovers an unexpected ally imprisoned in the dungeons, will a daughter of Death find something other than vengeance to live for?

Ratings and reviews

Dark and full of suspense and intense moments, Sybella marked herself as a strong lead in this book depicting her dark history. Sybella is the Queen of shadows and knives, the story is lush and full of court intrigue. ❤

I love dysfunction and am fascinated with how people deal with it. I love this whole trilogy so much that I read the whole thing in a few days!

Liked it. Different spin on the history that you learn in school. Want the next book!
