Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers
Release Date:April 3, 2012
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?
Raise your hand if you have ants in your pants awaiting the arrival of this new historical fiction by LaFevers. I DO! I DO! What an incredibly different concept for a story-makes me wish that i would have come up with it! Looks like a fantastic action packed thrill ride that i am more than ready to sink my teeth into.
I have been itching to get my hands on this book! Cannot wait to read it!
