Nyx had already been to hell. One prayer more or less wouldn't make any difference... On a ravaged, contaminated world, a centuries-old holy war rages, fought by a bloody mix of mercenaries, magicians, and conscripted soldiers. Though the origins of the war are shady and complex, there's one thing everybody agrees on-- There's not a chance in hell of ending it. Nyx is a former government assassin who makes a living cutting off heads for cash. But when a dubious deal between her government and an alien gene pirate goes bad, Nyx's ugly past makes her the top pick for a covert recovery. The head they want her to bring home could end the war--but at what price? The world is about to find out.

"Kameron Hurley is a brave, unflinching, truly original writer with a unique vision--her fiction burns right through your brain and your heart."
--Jeff VanderMeer, author of Finch

    Not for me. I plowed through and finished the book, but this one wasn't for me. I couldn't get to the point that I cared about any of the characters. While I agree author's shouldn't spend much time on the backstory, I found myself lost through much of the book since I couldn't understand the tech, world or culture of the story setting.
