Why be the sheep, when you can be the wolf?
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 giftsβand 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.
Ismaeβs most important assignment takes her straight into the high court of Brittanyβwhere she finds herself woefully under preparedβnot only for the deadly games of intrigue and treason, but for the impossible choices she must make. For how can she deliver Deathβs vengeance upon a target who, against her will, has stolen her heart?

It is not surprising that she grew up to be a hopeless romantic. She was lucky enough to find her one true love, and is living happily ever after with him in California.
