THEY CAME AGAINST HER Seeing that A CHILD. Today THEY FACE THE GIRL.

The ice is advancing, the Corridor narrowing, as well as the empire is under siege from the Scithrowl in the east and the Durns in the west. Everywhere, the emperor’s armies are in retreat.

Nona faces the final challenges that must be overcome if she is to become a full sister in the order of her about Holy Sister choice. Nonetheless it seems unlikely that non-a and her friends will have time to generate a nun’s habit before war is on the doorstep.

Even a warrior like Nona cannot hope to turn the tide of war.

The shiphearts offer strength that she might use to protect those she loves, but it’s a power that corrupts. A final fight is to arrive which she’ll end up being torn between close friends, unable to save all of them. A battle in which her personal demons will try to unmake her.

A battle in which hearts will be broken, lovers misplaced, thrones burned.
