Rachel Harrison: Hardcore Heroines: Rachel Harrison’s Bookshelf for ‘Black Sheep’ (0 comment)
Bookshelf organization is deeply personal. Some prefer by genre, by content, others by aesthetic attributes like color and size. I like to put books together that I think would be friends, that would get along or at least wouldn’t mind being neighbors. Books with protagonists that could maybe commiserate while they begrudgingly appear in the back...

Synopsis

Badriya has a debt to pay.

The beautiful oasis city of Aran lies at the center of the Lost, a desert haunted by ghosts, demons, and Witches of the Lost who prey on unwary souls. Badriya and her mother, having been exiled from their home on the coast, flee to the desert city for a new start. But after losing her mother to the desert--and the King and Queen of Aran dying swiftly after--Badriya is forced to live in the dark shadow of the new Queen, Solena.

Working as her assassin, Badriya is tasked with poisoning the Queen's unwanted suitors, rivals in love, and anyone else who dares to cross her. When a potential suitor and his advisor visit the palace, Badriya becomes tangled in a web of secrets and deceit. Desperate to return to her seaside home, Badriya finds herself torn between protecting Princess Najma, releasing her mother's soul from the Lost, and securing her own freedom. The silver she earns from her potions and cosmetics will pave the way, but she must remember: magic has its price.

In a decadent desert kingdom where the nobility dabble in toxic cosmetics that enhance their beauty but gradually poison them, the only way Badriya can survive is to work as an assassin for her evil sister Solena. And Solena is evil incarnate! I loved all the apothecary, poison lore, and the details about the magic herbs and flowers in her garden. I liked also that she wasn't a victim or passive. She had to sacrifice some of her morals in order to get the silver to pay off the desert witch to set her mom's soul free.
