Godsgrave cover

In this thrilling fantasy, Mia Corvere, a young assassin seeking vengeance, navigates treachery within the Red Church while confronting her past. As alliances form and secrets emerge, her loyalty is tested. Godsgrave is the second installment in The Nevernight Chronicle.

In Godsgrave, the second installment of The Nevernight Chronicle by Jay Kristoff, readers follow the relentless journey of Mia Corvere, a young assassin driven by vengeance. Having earned her place among the Blades of Our Lady of Blessed Murder, Mia grapples with skepticism from her peers in the Red Church, who doubt her worthiness. Despite her newfound status, she remains haunted by the brutal loss of her family, which fuels her desire for retribution.

As tensions rise within the Church, Mia's position becomes increasingly precarious. A fateful encounter with an old enemy leads her to question the true motives of the Red Church. When news breaks that Consul Scaeva and Cardinal Duomo will make a rare public appearance during the grand games in Godsgrave, Mia takes a bold step. In a desperate bid to fulfill her promise of revenge, she sells herself into slavery, risking everything for a chance to confront those who wronged her.

Within the arena's confines, Mia encounters both allies and adversaries, all while uncovering deeper mysteries about her connection to the shadows. As conspiracies unfold and secrets come to light, the stakes rise, forcing Mia to navigate the complexities of loyalty and vengeance. Godsgrave is a gripping tale of ambition, betrayal, and the quest for power, set against the backdrop of a richly imagined fantasy world.
