Overview:
Step into the shadowy convents and treacherous courts of medieval Brittany and France with this three-book bundle set in Robin LaFevers' acclaimed His Fair Assassin world. Combining the series opener Grave Mercy with the later duology Courting Darkness and Igniting Darkness, this collection follows deadly convent-trained assassins as they navigate political scheming, forbidden romance, and divine duty. Rich in atmosphere and packed with strong heroines, it's a must for teen and adult readers who love historical fantasy with bite, intrigue, and heart.
About the Books:
Grave Mercy introduces Ismae Rienne, rescued from an abusive marriage and delivered to the convent of St Mortain, patron saint of Death. Trained in poison, seduction, and combat, she is sent undercover to the Breton court, drawn into political survival and an unexpected romance. Later in the series timeline, Courting Darkness follows Sybella, one of the convent's most haunted assassins, as she uncovers two more convent-trained novices, including the fierce Genevieve, embedded undercover at the treacherous French court. As alliances shift, the young women must decide who they can trust. Igniting Darkness continues directly on, reuniting Sybella and Genevieve as they race to outwit the French regent and protect Brittany's young duchess from those determined to see her fall. Fast-paced and morally complex, both books deepen the mythology first introduced in Grave Mercy while offering a fresh cast of assassin-nuns to root for. Together, these three novels showcase LaFevers' talent for blending researched medieval history with fantasy, sharp political intrigue, and slow-burn romance, anchored by fierce heroines who refuse to be pawns in anyone else's game.
