Mia Corvere has found her place among the Blades of Our Lady of Blessed Murder, but many in the Red Church hierarchy think she’s far from earned it. Plying her bloody trade in a backwater of the Republic, she’s no closer to ending the men who destroyed her familia; in fact, she’s told directly that Consul Scaeva is off limits.

The Shima Imperium verges on the brink of environmental collapse; an island nation once rich in tradition and myth, now decimated by clockwork industrialization and the machine-worshipers of the Lotus Guild. The skies are red as blood, the land is choked with toxic pollution, and the great spirit animals that once roamed its wilds have departed forever.

Mia Corvere is only 10 years old when she is given her first lesson in death. Destined to destroy empires, the child raised in shadows made a promise on the day she lost everything: to avenge herself on those that shattered her world. But the chance to strike against such powerful enemies will be fleeting, and Mia must become a weapon without equal. Before she seeks vengeance, she must seek training among the infamous assassins of the Red Church of Itreya.

Mia Corvere, destroyer of empires, has found her place among the Blades of Our Lady of Blessed Murder, but many in the Red Church ministry do not believe she has earned it.

First, the bad news: an ancient evil—you know, your standard consume-all-life-in-the-galaxy deal—is about to be unleashed. The good news? Squad 312 is standing by to save the day. They've just got to take care of a few small distractions first. Like the clan of gremps who'd like to rearrange their favorite faces. And the cadre of illegit GIA agents with creepy flowers where their eyes used to be, who'll stop at nothing to get their hands on Auri. Then there's Kal's long-lost sister, who's not exactly happy to see her baby brother and has a Syldrathi army at her back.

Destinata a distruggere imperi, Mia Corvere ha solo dieci anni quando riceve la sua prima lezione sulla morte. Sei anni dopo, la bambina cresciuta tra le ombre si avvia a mantenere la promessa che ha fatto il giorno in cui ha perso tutto. Ma le possibilità di sconfiggere nemici così potenti sono davvero esili, e Mia è costretta a trasformarsi in un'arma implacabile. Deve mettersi alla prova tra i nemici - e gli amici - più letali, e sopravvivere alla protezione di assassini, mentitori e demoni, nel cuore stesso di una setta dedita all'omicidio.

Mia Corvere kennt nur ein Ziel: Rache. Als sie noch ein kleines Mädchen war, haben die Mächtigen des Reiches ihren Vater als Verräter an der Itreyanischen Republik hinrichten und ihre Mutter einkerkern lassen. Mia selbst wurde unter fremdem Namen vom alten Mercurio großgezogen. Mercurio ist jedoch kein gewöhnlicher Bürger der Republik, er bildet Attentäter für einen Assassinenorden aus, die Rote Kirche. Und Mia ist auch kein gewöhnliches Kind, sie ist eine Dunkelinn.

Die epische Rachegeschichte geht weiter. Nachdem Mia einen der Männer umgebracht hat, die für die Zerstörung ihrer Familie verantwortlich sind, bleiben noch zwei übrig: Kardinal Duomo und Konsul Scaeva. Beide sind jedoch vor der Öffentlichkeit abgeschirmt und für Mia unerreichbar. Schlimmer noch: Die Rote Kirche selbst scheint Scaeva zu schützen... Um an ihn heranzukommen, geht Mia ein großes Risiko ein: Sie kehrt der Kirche den Rücken und begibt sich in die Sklaverei, um als Gladiatorin an den Großen Spielen in Gottesgrab teilzunehmen.

Die Großen Spiele enden mit dem kühnsten Mord in der Geschichte der itreyanischen Republik - nur leider erwischt es den Falschen. Konsul Julius Scaeva überlebt das Attentat, und seine Macht im Staat ist nun beinahe grenzenlos. Genauso wie sein Hass auf Mia Corvere. Gejagt von den Assassinen der Roten Kirche und den Soldaten des Konsuls bricht Mia zu ihrer letzten großen Reise auf, um das Geheimnis ihrer Herkunft zu lüften und herauszufinden, wie sie Scaeva besiegen kann. Doch sie muss sich beeilen, denn das nächste Wahrdunkel naht, und Nacht fällt über die Republik.

Il suo mentore Mercurio è ora nelle mani dei suoi nemici. La sua stessa famiglia la vuole morta. Ma sotto la città, un oscuro segreto è in attesa. La notte sta per scendere sulla Repubblica, forse per l'ultima volta.

Mia Corvere, distruttrice di imperi, ha trovato il suo posto tra le Lame di Nostra Signora del benedetto omicidio, ma sono in tanti all'interno della Chiesa Rossa a pensare che non se lo meriti. La sua posizione è fragile, e non si sta affatto avvicinando alla vendetta cui agogna. Ma dopo uno scontro letale con un vecchio nemico, Mia inizia a sospettare quali siano i veri moventi della Chiesa Rossa. Al termine dei grandi giochi di Godsgrave, Mia tradisce la Chiesa e si vende come schiava per avere la possibilità di mantenere la promessa che ha fatto il giorno in cui ha perso tutto.

But nothing lasts forever. When a pirate is captured in a distant march, he offers information in exchange for his freedom. Information that ...
