Ismae escapes a brutal arranged marriage only to discover a more dangerous calling, one that answers to Death Himself.
At the convent of St. Mortain, she’s told her scars mark her as chosen. Her purpose is clear: become an assassin, serve Death, and deliver his justice. But the battlefield isn’t just blood and blades. It’s court.
When Ismae is sent to the high court of Brittany, she must navigate layers of lies, betrayal, and impossible loyalties. Her assignment? Kill a man entangled in treason. The complication? He’s also entangled in her heart.
As enemies close in and secrets unravel, Ismae must decide who she truly serves.
Is she a tool of vengeance, a pawn of politics, or something far more dangerous than they ever expected?
