Grave Mercy matches Red Queen in this epic debut illusion, inspired by Renaissance France, about an outcast who finds herself bound to a disgraced lord and entangled in his plot to overthrow the current king. Brienna desires only a couple of things: to master her passion and also to be chosen by the patron. Growing up in Valenia at the renowned Magnalia House should have prepared her. While some are blessed with a ability for one of the five passions - fine art, music, dramatics, wit, and knowledge - Brienna battled to find hers until she chose knowledge. However, Brienna's ideal fear comes true - she actually is left without a patron. Months later, her life will take an unexpected change when a disgraced lord offers her patronage. Suspicious of his intent, she reluctantly allows. But there is much more to his tale, for there's a dangerous plot to overthrow the ruler of Maevana - the rival kingdom of Valenia - and restore the rightful queen, and her magic, to the throne. And more are participating - some closer to Brienna than she realizes. And now, with warfare brewing, Brienna must choose which side she will continue to be loyal to: passion or bloodstream.
