Oh how I love this series!

Sybella is of course the most amazing of the assassin nuns stationed throughout 14th century Brittany and France. Now that the war is over her mission is to keep her sisters safe from their evil brother. That means accompanying the Duchess to France for her wedding. Even though the war is over, the intrigue and danger are not gone. There are still those who want to dispose of the Duchess or rid her of any allies she has. Sybella and Beast have to keep on their toes as danger lurks around every corner. If only she could find the sisters who were embedded in the French court years ago.

Genevieve is one of those hidden sisters. She has been gone from the convent for many years and has heard nothing from them. As things heat up after the war, she is more and more determined to fulfill her destiny. In order to do that she needs to get to the court and not stay in the countryside where she has been. She enlists the help of a forgotten prisoner and together they make their way to the castle where the newlywed king and queen are staying. 

I can't wait to see what happens with Sybella and Genevieve actually team up. I assume the next book will be even more awesome than this one was. I loved meeting a new member of the convent and learning her story and of course the more Sybella and Beast the better. The political intrigue has really ramped up now that the actually war is over. Everyone's motives are suspect and you have no idea who you can trust. I can't wait for more!
