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?
- Assassin Nuns: Trained by a convent that serves the god of Death, Sybella is their most dangerous weapon—skilled in death, seduction, and now sent on a mission back to the home she barely escaped.
- Political Intrigue: In the treacherous courts of 15th-century Brittany, Sybella must navigate a web of betrayal and conspiracy where a single misstep could cost the Duchess her throne.
- Dark Fantasy: A gripping, atmospheric tale where history and magic collide, forcing a daughter of Death to confront the personal hell she thought she had left behind.
- Slow Burn Romance: When Sybella discovers an unexpected ally locked away in a dark dungeon, she finds a new reason to live—and fight—for something more than revenge.
