About this eBook
Nevernight is the first in an epic new fantasy series from the New York Times bestselling author, Jay Kristoff.
In a land where three suns almost never set, a fledgling killer joins a school of assassins, seeking vengeance against the powers who destroyed her family.
Daughter of an executed traitor, Mia Corvere is barely able to escape her father’s failed rebellion with her life. Alone and friendless, she hides in a city built from the bones of a dead god, hunted by the Senate and her father’s former comrades. But her gift for speaking with the shadows leads her to the door of a retired killer, and a future she never imagined.
Now, a sixteen year old Mia is apprenticed to the deadliest flock of assassins in the entire Republic — the Red Church. Treachery and trials await her with the Church’s halls, and to fail is to die. But if she survives to initiation, Mia will be inducted among the chosen of the Lady of Blessed Murder, and one step closer to the only thing she desires.
Revenge.

This book has a glitch in it, it jumps in the story. You're better off buying the physical book instead of buying the e-book and then having to go by the physical book like I did. The book is kind of a scam because you end up having to buy the book twice don't know if this is a new marketing Trend or if a genuine accident by Google.

I would love to read this book, but despite trying to download and redownload, I get an error message each time. I've reported this 3 times now to no solution or refund. Would love to have this fixed immediately.

The content is great, but the writing stylebook was overly complicated. Its desire to confuse the reader ended up taking away my interest by times.
