A. K. Larkwood's The Unspoken Name is a stunning debut fantasy about a young priestess sentenced to die, who at the last minute escapes her fate; only to become an assassin for the wizard who saved her.What if you knew how and when you will die?Csorwe does-she will climb the mountain, enter the Shrine of the Unspoken, and gain the most honored title: sacrifice.But on the day of her foretold death, a powerful mage offers her a new fate. Leave with him, and live. Turn away from her destiny and her god to become a thief, a spy, an assassin-the wizard's loyal sword. Topple an empire, and help him reclaim his seat of power.But Csorwe will soon learn-gods remember, and if you live long enough, all debts come due.In the vein of Le Guin's magnificent Tombs of Atuan-if Arha the Eaten One got to grow up to be a swordswoman mercenary in thrall to her dubious wizard mentor. I love this book so much."-Arkady Martine, author of A Memory Called Empire"I cannot recommend it enough." -- Tamsyn Muir, author of Gideon the Ninth
