FANDOM NAME: His Fair Assassins - Robin LeFevers
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: Teen Nun Assassins in Medieval Brittany.

Those are the six words that had me picking up the trilogy about a convent dedicated to the god of death trying to help the young Duchess of Brittany maintain Brittany's independence from France through a little light murder. Conspiracies and romance abound, along with some neat "here are the supplies you'll need for the mission" type scenes that would be straight out of a Bond movie, if it weren't the 1490s.

The world building is a lot of fun with regards to how the "old saints" are worshiped and incorporated against the rising tide of Christianity and how the presence of these religious orders would interact with the known history.

Note: These books keep things pretty PG-13 but there is some attempted sexual violence referenced in the first book, but the second book steps it up with a sexually sadistic and abusive father.

WHERE CAN I FIND IT?(optional): Your local library or book store of choice!
