Publisher's Summary
Nona Grey’s story reaches its shattering conclusion in the third instalment of Book of the Ancestor.
THEY CAME AGAINST HER AS A CHILD. NOW THEY FACE THE WOMAN.
The ice is advancing, the Corridor narrowing, and 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 choice. But it seems unlikely that Nona and her friends will have time to earn a nun’s habit before war is on their 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 battle is coming in which she will be torn between friends, unable to save them all. A battle in which her own demons will try to unmake her.
A battle in which hearts will be broken, lovers lost, thrones burned.
HOLY SISTER completes the Book of the Ancestor trilogy that began with RED SISTER and GREY SISTER. A ground-breaking series, it has established Mark Lawrence as one of the most exciting new voices in modern speculative fiction.
Critic Reviews
"An excellent writer." (George R.R. Martin)
"Dark, passionate, tense, with a female hero anyone could relate to - I was utterly fascinated! This is no pretty, flowery tale, but one of vastly different people struggling to survive when a hostile government comes to power." (Number one New York Times best-selling author Tamora Pierce)

Such a good ending to a fantastic series.
This book closed out the series well with all major plot points closed off (most of them at least) and an ending that made sense while still being amazing to listen to. Would recommend.

Spellbound
Loved listening to the final book as the story unfolded to its final conclusion. Mesmerizing.

Brilliant
I love grimdark and the author is known for it with his other novels- but oddly, I don't like his other novels (not compared with the King JA)! This trilogy has great worldbuilding and is bloody and yet not grimdark - and it is my favourite books by this author. I'll probably read these books again- a great ending - sad to part with the characters

Great story great narration
Will be hoping for more fantasy/sci fi from Lawrence in the near future as he seems to be getting better and better. Really enjoyed Duffs narration and will be looking to listen to more of her work.

Good conclusion to series
Really enjoyed the final book in this series. Again the performance by Helen Duff was excellent. Good use of time to build the story to a strong finish. Really enjoyed the more complex I se of ‘magic’ and the development of romance. By the end of the book you really connect with all the characters, are drawn into each relationship and really care about everyone!! Wish there more more books to come in the series.

Holy Sister indeed!
Wow did I struggle to finish this book. It was a good conclusion to the series but it wasn't what I was expecting. The story was told in 2 parts split between the past and present with lots added off page. I think I enjoy a straight forward story better rather than the chopping and changing. The overall twist at the end/conclusion was great though, quite unexpected. I really enjoyed the character growth of Nona though, she started out as Wolverine then finished up as quite the wise well balanced person. Still love this world and the characters. Also can we have a book all about Sisters Apple and Kettle as the focus please Mr Lawrence?

All three books tie together in an amazing way. Wonderful narration. Looking for other works by the same people.
