CW: abuse, violence
"Seventeen-year-old Ismae escapes from the brutality of an arranged marriage into the sanctuary of the convent of St. Mortain, where the sisters still serve the gods of old. Here she learns that the god of Death Himself has blessed her with dangerous gifts—and a violent destiny. If she chooses to stay at the convent, she will be trained as an assassin and serve as a handmaiden to Death. To claim her new life, she must destroy the lives of others.
Ismae’s most important assignment takes her straight into the high court of Brittany—where she finds herself woefully under prepared—not only for the deadly games of intrigue and treason, but for the impossible choices she must make. For how can she deliver Death’s vengeance upon a target who, against her will, has stolen her heart?"--Goodreads blurb
This was a run-of-the-mill fantasy novel with all the tried-and-true fantasy tropes. That's not to say it wasn't a good read, because it kept me interested to the end. I love a good story of a girl that kicks butt (and then usually falls in love), and this one was just that. This series follows different characters in the series, so while I enjoyed this book, with a change in main character, I won't be reading the rest of the series.
