Grave Mercy
Our rating
Spice: barely any. Darkness: dark.
Ismae escapes a brutal marriage into a convent whose nuns serve the god of death, mostly with poison and knives. Then she's sent to the Breton court posing as Duval's mistress. More politics than stabbing, and the slow trust between them really works.
