From Little Stack
In true Jay Kristoff style, the Library of the Quiet Mountain is a dangerous and deadly place. The Red Church’s knowledge is guarded by bookworms: not cute and cuddly, but terrifying flesh-eating serpents that will swallow noisy students (or armed invaders) whole.
I loved the gothic-horror-meets-assassin-school flavor of the library, and the way it felt like a threat in and of itself. With no way of knowing what lurks around the next shelf or in the ever-present shadows, every moment I spent there with Mia had the tension ratcheted all the way up—and I was there for it.
Nevernight is the first in an epic new fantasy series from the New York Times bestselling author, Jay Kristoff.
In a land where three suns almost never set, a fledgling killer joins a school of assassins, seeking vengeance against the powers who 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 hides in a city built from the bones of a dead god, hunted by the Senate and her father’s former comrades. But her gift for speaking with the shadows leads her to the door of a retired killer, and a future she never imagined.
Now, a sixteen year old Mia is apprenticed to the deadliest flock of assassins in the entire Republic — the Red Church. Treachery and trials await her with the Church’s halls, and to fail is to die. But if she survives to initiation, Mia will be inducted among the chosen of the Lady of Blessed Murder, and one step closer to the only thing she desires.
Revenge.
