The second novel in a brilliant fantasy trilogy from the
international bestselling author of Prince of Thorns.
Behind its walls, the Convent of Sweet Mercy has trained
young girls to hone their skills for centuries. In Mystic
Class, Novice Nona Grey has begun to learn the secrets of
the universe. But so often even the deepest truths just make
our choices harder. Before she leaves the convent, Nona must
choose which order to dedicate herself to--and whether her
path will lead to a life of prayer and service or one of the
blade and the fist.
All that stands between her and these choices are the pride
of a thwarted assassin, the designs of a would-be empress
wielding the Inquisition like a knife, and the vengeance of
the empire's richest lord.
As the world narrows around her, and her enemies attack her
through the system she is sworn to, Nona must find her own
path despite the competing pulls of friendship, revenge,
ambition, and loyalty.
And in all this only one thing is certain: there will be blood.
