In a few the old bloods show, gifting talents rarely seen since the tribes beached their ships on Abeth. Sweet Mercy hones its novices' skills to deadly effect: it takes ten years to educate a Red Sister in the ways of blade and fist.But even the mistresses of sword and shadow don't truly understand what they have purchased when Nona Grey is brought to their halls as a bloodstained child of eight, falsely accused of murder: guilty of worse.

Red Sister was a beautifully written novel.It's full of action and magic; a gripping story of a young girl with nothing, but with everything to lose. Mark Lawrence weaves epic fantasy and intrigue in a way that leaves you wanting more.
If you're a fan of J.R. Tolkien or Kristin Cashore then you will LOVE this book and I would definitely reccommend you pick up a copy ASAP! - Hannah (QBD)
