Seventeen-year old Ismae is a girl born with a curse. She has been married off to a man who is now threatening to kill her. Ismae manages to escape his brutality with the help of a local priest. She is brought to the convent of St. Mortain where girls like her are trained in the arts of killing. At the convent, she finds that Mortain himself has blessed her with powerful and dangerous gifts. She trains along her fellow sisters, forming relationships and finally fitting in for the first time in her life. Before long, she is sent on her first, and then second, mission. On both, she performs admirably well, quickly and with the quiet, deadly force of a viper. Now she must prove herself on her most challenging mission yet. She is sent to the royal palace where she must deduce who is traitorous and who must be killed. Yet, although she has been trained to avoid it, she becomes ensnared in the tangles of seduction and succumbs to the sting of betrayal. For how can deliver vengeance on a man who has stolen her heart?

SO GOOD!! Ismae was so awesome and the story wasn't cliche at all. Even the romance part was completely original.
