Synopsis
Si te gustan Robin Hobb y George R. R. Martin, te encantará Nuncanoche.».-Starbust
Mia Corvere ha encontrado su lugar en la Iglesia Roja, la famosa escuela de asesinos. La joven se halla entre los elegidos de la Señora del Bendito Asesinato, aunque muchos creen que no lo merece. Mia juró venganza pero aún no ha cumplido su palabra. Cuando sospecha que la propia Iglesia está impidiendo que acabe con el hombre que mató a su familia, se vende a sí misma a un reclutador de gladiadores para poder enfrentarse a él. En los pasillos del coliseo hace nuevas amistades y nuevos rivales, y empieza a preguntarse por su afinidad con las sombras. Pero a medida que se urden conspiraciones, se revelan secretos y arranca el recuento de cuerpos, Mia se ve obligada a elegir entre lealtad o venganza, y su elección será clave para la tierra en la que sus tres soles casi jamás llegan a ponerse.
In a land where three suns almost never set, a ruthless assassin continues her quest for vengeance against the powers who destroyed her family. 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. But after a deadly confrontation with an old enemy, Mia’s suspicions about the Red Church’s true motives begin to grow. When it’s announced that Scaeva will be making a rare public appearance at the conclusion of the grand games in Godsgrave, Mia defies the Church and sells herself to a gladiatorial collegium for a chance to finally end him. Upon the sands of the arena, Mia finds new allies, bitter rivals, and more questions about her strange affinity for the shadows. But as conspiracies unfold within the collegium walls, and the body count rises, Mia will be forced to choose between love and revenge, and uncover a secret that could change the very face of her world.
