Description
The Boneless Mercies by April Genevieve Tucholke is a YA fantasy novel about death-traders known as the Mercies. They are women who have taken on a job that requires killing quickly and quietly, with no family or home to their names. Frey, one of these women, hears of a monster slaughtering men, women, and children in a northern jarldom and sees this as her chance to change the Mercies' fate. The story follows Frey and three other Boneless Mercies - Ovie, Juniper, and Runa - as they take on this new task. With its epic scope and breathtaking world-building, this novel is suited to readers of fantasy and adventure. The author's lyrical prose brings a deeper magic to the tale, making it a worthwhile read for those who enjoy stories of outcast girls defying fate. With its ruthless and heart-warming tone, The Boneless Mercies is a stunning novel that will sing to a new generation of heroes.
