Waiting On Wednesday: Dark Triumph by Robin LaFevers


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly Meme hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine. It is an opportunity for us to show books we can't wait to get our hands on.

This week, my pick is:


Dark Triumph by Robin LaFevers
His Fair Assassin #2
Release Date: April 2nd, 2013
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Books for Children
Sybella arrives at the convent’s doorstep half mad with grief and despair. Those that serve Death are only too happy to offer her refuge—but at a price. Naturally skilled in both the arts of death and seduction, the convent views Sybella as one of their most dangerous weapons.
But those assassin’s skills are little comfort when the convent returns her to a life that nearly drove her mad. Her father’s rage and brutality are terrifying, and her brother’s love is equally monstrous. And while Sybella is a weapon of justice wrought by the god of Death himself, He must give her a reason to live. When she discovers an unexpected ally imprisoned in the dungeons, will a daughter of Death find something other than vengeance to live for?
This heart-pounding sequel to Grave Mercy serves betrayal, treachery, and danger in equal measure, bringing readers back to fifteenth century Brittany and will keep them on the edge of their seats.
Loved Grave Mercy, and now that I've read the first book, I finally can start getting excited for the sequel. I'm really curious to see what will happen to Sybella.

    I've never heard of this book (or series) before, but it certainly sounds fascinating! The author hss invented an interesting new mythology regarding the Grim Reaper. I'll put this one on my Goodreads TBR shelf ASAP!!

    Thanks so much for sharing, and Happy Reading!! :)
