Godsgrave

In "Godsgrave," the second installment of Jay Kristoff's "Nevernight Chronicle," assassin Mia Corvere continues her relentless pursuit of vengeance against those who destroyed her family. Operating as a Blade of the Red Church, Mia is assigned to a remote location, far from her targets, and is explicitly forbidden from pursuing Consul Scaeva. This directive raises her suspicions about the Church's true motives.

Determined to confront her enemies, Mia infiltrates the gladiatorial arena of Godsgrave, where Scaeva is scheduled to appear. She sells herself into slavery to join a collegium, aiming to rise through the ranks and gain access to her target. Within the brutal world of gladiatorial combat, Mia faces new alliances, rivalries, and deepens her understanding of her shadowy powers. As conspiracies unfold, she must navigate a treacherous path between loyalty and revenge, uncovering secrets that could reshape her world.
