Ismae is sent to kill people with a special mark on them. Ismae accomplishes her first few missions with ease, but eventually, she is sent on her way to a mission in the royal court- a mission that could very well get her killed. The abby, where Ismae learns the fine art of vengeance, is lead by an abbess who claims that she has communicated with death himself and that her orders come from him alone. Enraged, he tries to murder Ismae but she runs away and finds sanctuary at a place where they train the daughters of Mortain on how to become assassins. On the night of their marriage, Ismae’s husband finds out about her bruise and realizes that Ismae’s father has tricked him. Moreover, the bruise is a sign that she is a daughter of Mortain, the god of death and having a person of that lineage in one’s family could harm their reputation. Her “father” is very eager to get rid of her, especially since she has a long bruise down her side that will never go away. Ismae is being forced to marry someone who she doesn’t love. This book is very detailed and it seems almost impossible to sum it all up into a few paragraphs but I’m going to try anyway!
