Description
I was born to kill - the gods created me for destruction. The Sweet Mercy Monastery raises girls to be assassins. In a handful of them, ancient blood manifests, granting them abilities rarely seen since the four tribes landed on the shores of Abeth. Sweet Mercy hones the talents of its novices until they are sharp as a razor and just as deadly: it takes ten years to train a Red Sister in the arts of fist and blade. But even the Lady of the Blade and Shadow do not realize what they have entangled themselves in when they take in Nona Grey, an eight-year-old girl drenched in blood, falsely accused of murder, who has actually sinned in a far worse way. Nona, saved from beneath the shadow of the executioner's noose, is pursued by powerful enemies - and they have good reason. Despite the remoteness and safety of the monastery, her secrets and violent past will find her. Under the dying sun, shining over a crumbling empire, Nona Grey must confront her demons and become a deadly assassin if she hopes to survive...
