Red Sister - Boek

The international bestselling author of the Broken Empire and the Red Queen’s War trilogies returns with a stunning epic fantasy about a secretive order of holy warriors. At the Convent of Sweet Mercy, young girls are raised to be killers, with rare talents that can be honed to deadly or mystic effect. Nona Grey enters these halls as a bloodstained nine-year-old wrongly accused of murder. She begins ten years of education in blade and fist under Abbess Glass, discovering there is more to learn than the arts of death. Among her class, she finds a new family and new enemies, while the growing disquiet of a crumbling empire draws the church—and even the emperor—into its tangled politics. Beneath a dying sun, Nona must master her inner demons and unleash them on those who stand in her way.

Her arrival sparks old feuds and vicious power struggles, testing loyalties and threatening the fragile balance of power within the convent and beyond.
