Publisher's summary

Two assassins will risk absolutely everything - even their own divinity - to save the people and the country they love in this lush historical fantasy from New York Times best-selling author Robin LaFevers. Set in the world of the beloved His Fair Assassin series, this smart, sensational follow up to Courting Darkness is perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Holly Black.

When you count Death as a friend, who can stand as your enemy?

Sybella, novitiate of the convent of Saint Mortain and Death’s vengeance on earth, is still reeling from her God’s own passing, and along with him a guiding hand in her bloody work. But with her sisters on the run from their evil brother and under the watchful eye of her one true friend (and love) at court, the soldier known as Beast, Sybella stands alone as the Duchess of Brittany’s protector.

After months of seeking her out, Sybella has finally made contact with a fellow novitiate of the convent, Genevieve, a mole in the French court. But Sybella, having already drawn the ire of the French regent, may not be able to depend on her sister and ally as much as she hoped. Still, Death always finds a way, even if it’s not what one expects.

No one can be trusted, and the wolves are always waiting in this thrilling conclusion to the Courting Darkness duology, set in the world of Robin’s beloved His Fair Assassin trilogy.

Excellent character

You will fall off in love with the characters - romantic and suspenseful- a must read

Loved it!

I loved the first books in this series and these last two additions are just as good. I'm sad to see this book come to an end but hopeful for other additions to come.

Best Series By Far

Wonderfully narrated, well told. I love this series so much and in being relatively new to audiobooks, I was a little worried about being less immersed in the story than when reading the actual book. it did not disappoint. Robin LaFevers is a brilliant author and I recommend the His Fair Assassin books to any and everybody, audiobook.or otherwise.

I don’t want it to be over

It took me a bit to get used to Sybella’s new voice but once I did she was good. The character development is great! The king was so annoying at first but I promise it gets better. Unfortunately you don’t see much more than whispers of Anneth and Isme but they seemed in good hands. Some questions get answered and others don’t. A complete ending indeed but a crack open if the author ever wants to come back to it.

Genevieve was beautifully narrated. I loved everything about her.

The king had a British accent when being narrated by Sybella,which was strange and inconsistent. Also, Sybella’s character was considerably different than the last book’s narrator. It seemed to change her personality drastically.

Really long, too many false starts

Just when you think the protagonists will make progress they’re beset with obstacles…. AGAIN. Didn’t love the pacing of the two ‘Darkness’ books.
