Description
The Boneless Mercies by April Genevieve Tucholke is a dark, atmospheric YA fantasy about four young women who make their living as professional killers. Frey, Ovie, Juniper and Runa are the Boneless Mercies, hired to end lives swiftly and quietly. But Frey has grown tired of the death trade and longs for the heroic life described in the sagas she grew up hearing.
When news arrives of a seemingly unstoppable monster terrorising a nearby town, Frey sees an opportunity for escape. If the Mercies can defeat the creature, the resulting fame and fortune could give them the chance to build new lives—and perhaps challenge the stories their world has always told about what women can be.
Blending Norse-inspired mythology, dark fantasy, adventure and themes of female friendship and independence, the novel is an atmospheric tale about four women determined to write their own legend.
