Daughter of Crows - Mark LawrenceSet a thief to catch a thief. Set a monster to punish monsters. 'I never met a Mark Lawrence book that I didn't love' ROBIN HOBB 'An excellent writer' GEORGE R.R. MARTIN The Academy of Kindness exists to create agents of retribution, cast in the image of the Furies - The Kindly Ones - against whom even the gods hesitate to stand.

The few who survive its decade-long nightmare have been forged on the sands of the Wound Garden. They have learned ancient secrets amid the necrotic fumes of the Bone Garden. They leave its gates as avatars of vengeance, bound to uphold the oldest of laws. Only the most desperate would sell their child to the Kindnesses. But Rue ... she sold herself.
