No one had been permitted to approach Lady Geraldine* since the hour of dinner. She had declined the attendance of her nuns, saying, as she dismissed them, that she should perform her evening devotions in her oratory; having announced this, she farther informed them, that they were to proceea as usual, under the guidance of Lady Juliet's page, to the gallery of the chapel. Morgante listened with inexpressible astonishment to Juliet, when she bade him, as soon as he should have performed this duty to the nuns, to repair to the apartment of her aunt, and conduct her to the postern door of the garden, where she herself should be in waiting to join them. "And for the love of God, lady, whither shall you lead her?" "To the chestnut tree," answered Juliet, smiling. The boy, on hearing this reply, stood silently before her, with a look of such terrified surprise, that his young mistress laughed outright.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Abbess, Vol. 1 of 2: A Romance Lady Juliet opened the door of a saloon, which had been hitherto almost entirely appropriated to her use. Its ample oriel windows gave it an air of peculiar cheerfulness; and it was here that she best loved to pursue her occupations: but on now entering it, she was struck by a general change in the appearance of the room, the absence of many arti cles she had left there the night before, and the introduction of several others.

Book Description
"The short dirk in the hands of Muriel Spark has always been a deadly weapon," said The New York Times, and "never more so than in The Abbess of Crewe." An elegant little fable about intrigue, corruption, and electronic surveillance, The Abbess of Crewe is set in an English Benedictine convent. Steely and silky Abbess Alexandra (whose aristocratic tastes run to pâté, fine wine, English poetry, and carpets of "amorous green") has bugged the convent, and rigged her election. But the cat gets out of the bag, and--plunged into scandal--the serene Abbess faces a Vatican inquiry.

The powerful third book in Robin LaFever's critically acclaimed New York Times bestselling His Fair Assassins series perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Kristin Cashore, and Victoria Aveyard leaves Annith with a desperate decision to make that not only affects the future of Brittany, but the destiny of the god of Death Himself. In the powerful third book in Robin LaFever's critically acclaimed New York Times bestselling His Fair Assassins series, tensions between Brittany and Frace continue to rise as Annith watches her gifted sisters at the convent come and go, carrying out their dark dealings in the name of St. Mortain, patiently awaiting her own turn to serve Death. But her worst fears are realized when she discovers she is being groomed by the abbess as a Seeress, to be forever sequestered in the rock and stone womb of the convent. Feeling sorely betrayed, Annith decides to strike out on her own. She has spent her whole life training to be an assassin. Just because the convent has changed its mind, doesn't mean she has. Combining romance, action, and political intrigue, Mortal Heart delivers a breathtaking conclusion to the war between Brittany and France...for now.
