A thrilling, on the edge of your seat read. A helper and protective ex nun is drafted into the Obsidian Sisterhood unwittingly. From a fight to the death on the front lawn of the all women's shelter to the hidden archive of a rectory, Sister Monica is on a mission to learn more and survive those who want to use the stone for evil.

The book is written in first person. There is profanity, if you are sensitive to that prepare yourself. Overall an excellent read that will leave you wanting more.

This was a strong start to the Obsidian Sisterhood series, it had that feel that I was looking for and enjoyed about the idea of this storyline, I enjoyed that the main character was older and thought it was a great opening chapter. I’m excited to read more in this series and from Lydia M. Hawke.

An elderly, martial arts trained, magic-wielding ex-nun fights evil mages and the patriarchy. What's not to love. I look forward to the sequel. Thank you to @netgalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read in exchange for an honest review.
