Waiting On Wednesday 11.01.17.
Goodmorning guys ! Still no snow here.. But also not very cold for this time of the year, which will most likely change soon, but well. Personally, if I can't get any snow I prefer Spring to come soon.
But well, let's get back on topic. It is a new Wednesday, so this means another waiting on ! I noticed this one on NetGalley and I just love the discription ! It sounds a bit like the His Fair Assassin series by Robin LaFever, and I LOVED that series.
Red Sister by Mark Lawrence
Release Date. 4th of April 2017
Release Date. 4th of April 2017
I was born for killing – the gods made me to ruin.
At the Convent of Sweet Mercy young girls are raised to be killers. In a few the old bloods show, gifting talents rarely seen since the tribes beached their ships on Abeth. Sweet Mercy hones its novices’ skills to deadly effect: it takes ten years to educate a Red Sister in the ways of blade and fist.
But even the mistresses of sword and shadow don’t truly understand what they have purchased when Nona Grey is brought to their halls as a bloodstained child of eight, falsely accused of murder: guilty of worse.
Stolen from the shadow of the noose, Nona is sought by powerful enemies, and for good reason. Despite the security and isolation of the convent her secret and violent past will find her out. Beneath a dying sun that shines upon a crumbling empire, Nona Grey must come to terms with her demons and learn to become a deadly assassin if she is to survive…
