Two assassins will risk absolutely everything--even their own
divinity--to save the people and the country they love in this lush
historical fantasy from New York Times bestselling author Robin
LaFevers. Set in the world of the beloved His Fair Assassin series, this
smart, sensational follow up to Courting Darkness is perfect for fans
of Leigh Bardugo and Holly Black.
When you count Death as a friend, who can stand as your enemy?
Sybella, novitiate of the convent of Saint Mortain and Death's vengeance
on earth, is still reeling from her God's own passing, and along with
him a guiding hand in her bloody work. But with her sisters on the run
from their evil brother and under the watchful eye of her one true
friend (and love) at court, the soldier known as Beast, Sybella stands
alone as the Duchess of Brittany's protector.
After months of seeking her out, Sybella has finally made contact with a
fellow novitiate of the convent, Genevieve, a mole in the French court.
But Sybella, having already drawn the ire of the French regent, may not
be able to depend on her sister and ally as much as she hoped. Still,
Death always finds a way, even if it's not what one expects.
No one can be trusted and the wolves are always waiting in this
thrilling conclusion to the Courting Darkness duology, set in the world
of Robin's beloved His Fair Assassin trilogy.
