Waiting on Wednesday (6)

The amazing Jill at Breaking the Spine brings us another week of Waiting on Wednesday to let us show off some things we are most excited for. My pick this week is:

Release Date: April 2012

Why be the sheep, when you can be the wolf?

Seventeen-year-old Ismae escapes from the brutality of an arranged marriage into the sanctuary of the convent of St. Mortain, where the sisters still serve the gods of old. Here she learns that the god of Death Himself has blessed her with dangerous gifts—and a violent destiny. If she chooses to stay at the convent, she will be trained as an assassin and serve as a handmaiden to Death. To claim her new life, she must destroy the lives of others.

Ismae's most important assignment takes her straight into the high court of Brittany—where she finds herself woefully under prepared—not only for the deadly games of intrigue and treason, but for the impossible choices she must make. For how can she deliver Death’s vengeance upon a target who, against her will, has stolen her heart?

That catch line just brought me right in, and it sounds really interesting. I always love new series when I find out about them before they've already started releasing. 

What are you waiting on today?
