By April Tucholke

If you liked CHILDREN OF BLOOD AND BONE, you&#39;ll love THE BONELESS MERCIES&#160;They called us the Mercies, or sometimes the Boneless Mercies. They said we were shadows, ghosts, and if you touched our skin we dissolved into smoke ... Frey, Ovie, Juniper, and Runa are Boneless Mercies – death-traders, hired to kill quickly, quietly and mercifully.&#160;It is a job for women, and women only. Men will not do this sad, dark work. &#160; Frey has no family, no home, no fortune, and yet her blood sings a song of glory. So when she hears of a monster slaughtering men, women, and children in a northern jarldom, she decides this the Mercies’ one chance to change their fate. But glory comes at a price … An epic YA fantasy set in a breathtaking new world, this is perfect for fans of V.E.Schwab, Leigh Bardugo, Laini Taylor&#160;and&#160;Melinda Salisbury&#160; &quot;Fierce and glorious, this story of outcast girls defying fate utterly bewitched me. Tucholke is a gorgeous writer.&quot;&#160;-- LAINI TAYLOR,&#160;New York Times-bestselling author of&#160;Strange the Dreamer &#160; &quot;??Its&#160;every page hints at a deeper magic at work; it contains a whole world and all its myths and histories within its skin.&quot;&#160;-- MELISSA ALBERT,&#160;New York Times-bestselling author of&#160;The Hazel Wood&quot;Ruthless and lyrical, heart-warming and blood-chilling,&#160;and beautifully redolent of ancient tales and history. It will sing to a new generation of heroes.&quot;--&#160;SAMANTHA SHANNON,&#160;New York Times-bestselling author of&#160;The Bone Season&quot;I fell in love with this stunning novel from the very first page.
