Nevernight
by Jay Kristoff
In a world where the suns almost never set, a woman gains entry to a
school of infamous assassins, seeking vengeance against the powers
that destroyed her family. Daughter of an executed traitor, Mia
Corvere is barely able to escape her father's failed rebellion with
her life. Alone and friendless, she wanders a city built from the
bones of a dead god, hunted by the Senate and its thugs. But her gift
for speaking with the shadows leads her to the hearth of a retired
killer, and a future she never imagined. Now, Mia is apprenticed to
the deadliest flock of assassins in the entire Republic, the Red
Church. Deadly trials await her within the Church's halls: blades and
poisons, treachery and death. If she survives to initiation, she'll be
inducted among the chosen of the Lady of Blessed Murder, and be one
step closer to the only thing she desires. Revenge.
