When you can be the wolf, why be the sheep?
Ismae, 17, flees the cruelty of an arranged marriage and finds refuge in the monastery of St. Mortain, where the nuns continue to worship the ancient gods. Here, she discovers that she has been endowed with lethal abilities and a terrible fate by the deity of Death Himself. She will get assassination training and work as Death's handmaiden if she choose to remain in the monastery. She has to wreck other people's lives in order to claim her new existence.
Ismae's most significant task brings her directly into the upper court of Brittany, where she finds herself dreadfully unprepared for the perilous games of treachery and intrigue as well as the difficult decisions she must make. Because how else could she exact Death's wrath on someone who has taken her heart without her will?
