Daughter Of Crows

*Daughter of Crows* by Mark Lawrence is a dark fantasy novel with a razor-edged heart: part revenge tale, part survival story, and all momentum. If you like morally complex heroines and worlds where justice comes at a price, this one will pull you in fast.

The Academy of Kindness trains girls into something mythic and terrifying—agents of retribution shaped after the Furies, tasked with enforcing ancient laws even the powerful fear. Each year a hundred are bought. A decade later, only three leave alive. Rue wasn’t sold, though; she chose the Academy, and she paid in blood and years. Now, after a long life and hard-won quiet, conflict finds her again—at an age when most would hope to be left alone.

Perfect for readers who enjoy gritty fantasy, vengeance themes, brutal training schools, and a formidable older protagonist.

Step into Rue’s world and see what happens when the monsters meet their match.
