Ducking in low, I launch my entire body at him, aiming for his gullet. In the time it takes for his sword to arc toward me, I retrieve the stiletto from my left sleeve. Either it has not registered that I have just mortally wounded his two friends or he is stupid, so certain he has a killing blow that he moves slowly, like an executioner at a beheading. Sybella is bad ass as well as Beast as well as all assassin girls! I was so excited to read this book because I loved the first books and Sybella and Beast!! Of course now I need to do a reread but that’s neither here nor there. So I wanted to smack Genevieve there at the end but I get to the last page and chills went down my spine!! Woot!! Read this with my lovely friend, Tammie! Did I get to reread the first trilogy that I loved before this one? No! Do I care? No! 😃 Will they find each other in time, or will their worlds collide, destroying everything they care about? When tragedy strikes, she has no choice but to take matters into her own hands-even if it means ignoring the long awaited orders from the convent.Īs Sybella and Gen’s paths draw ever closer, the fate of everything they hold sacred rests on a knife’s edge. Her only solace is a hidden prisoner who appears all but forgotten by his guards. Genevieve has been undercover for so many years, she struggles to remember who she is or what she’s supposed to be fighting for. Their one ray of hope is Sybella’s fellow novitiates, disguised and hidden deep in the French court years ago by the convent-provided Sybella can find them. In a desperate bid to keep her two youngest sisters safe from the family that nearly destroyed them all, she agrees to accompany the duchess to France, where they quickly find themselves surrounded by enemies. Sybella has always been the darkest of Death’s daughters, trained at the convent of Saint Mortain to serve as his justice. Death wasn’t the end, it was only the beginning…
