Nevernight cover

A young girl learns the harsh realities of life and death in Nevernight, as she trains to become a deadly assassin seeking vengeance.

In Nevernight, we meet Mia Corvere, a ten-year-old girl whose life takes a tragic turn when she experiences her first lesson in death. Raised in the shadows, Mia is determined to avenge the destruction of her world. With a promise etched in her heart, she sets out on a path that will lead her to become a formidable force destined to topple empires. Her journey is not just one of revenge, but also of self-discovery and transformation into a weapon of unparalleled skill.

To achieve her goals, Mia must seek out the infamous assassins of the Red Church of Itreya, a place where danger lurks around every corner. The Church is no ordinary institution; it is a training ground for the deadliest of killers, and Mia must prove herself among them. As she navigates this treacherous environment, she encounters murderers, liars, and daemons, each more dangerous than the last. The stakes are high, and survival is far from guaranteed.

Nevernight is not just a tale of vengeance; it is a gripping exploration of darkness and the human spirit. With the shadows as her allies and her fears as fuel, Mia's journey promises to be both thrilling and deeply resonant, as she learns that the path to power is fraught with peril and sacrifice. This captivating fantasy novel is the first in the acclaimed Nevernight Chronicle series, setting the stage for an epic adventure that will leave readers eager for more.
