Frey, Ovie, Juniper, and Runa are the Boneless Mercies girls hired to kill quickly, quietly, and mercifully. But Frey is weary of the death trade and, having been raised on the heroic sagas of her people, dreams of a bigger life.

The Boneless Mercies

A self-styled Norse saga with a plot as meandering as its source material, with evocative writing just about making up for the characters' lack of substance.
