Nona the Ninth
In Nona the Ninth, Tamsyn Muir continues her exhilarating and intricately woven Locked Tomb Series, a New York Times and USA Today bestseller. This third instalment in the series plunges into a world teetering on the brink of annihilation, where captivating characters grapple with the ultimate questions of identity, loyalty, and survival.
In a city under relentless siege, the dead do not stay dead for long. Zombies roam the streets, spreading chaos and despair. Amidst this tumult, Nona stands out as an extraordinary figure yearning for the simplest of joys - a birthday party. Yet, Nona’s life is anything but ordinary. She resides with her makeshift family, works at a local school, enjoys leisurely walks on the beach, and finds comfort in the company of friendly dogs.
However, Nona harbours a grave secret. Six months have passed since she woke up in a stranger’s body, and the fear of having to relinquish it haunts her every day. As the city crumbles around her, a monstrous blue sphere looms ominously on the horizon, threatening to rip the planet to shreds. The Blood of Eden forces have encircled the final Cohort facility, anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Emperor Undying.
The leaders of this desperate resistance see Nona as their last hope, a potential weapon to liberate them from the oppressive rule of the Nine Houses. Nona, however, craves the mundane comforts of a normal life with the people she has grown to love - Pyrrha, Camilla, and Palamedes. But she is all too aware that normality is a fleeting illusion, and the weight of destiny bears heavily upon her.
As the city’s fate hangs in the balance, Nona’s nights are plagued by visions of a woman with a skull-painted face, a mysterious figure who may hold the key to her enigmatic past and uncertain future.
Nona the Ninth is a masterful blend of dark fantasy, science fiction, and gothic horror that promises to enthral fans and newcomers alike. Tamsyn Muir’s riveting storytelling, complex characters, and unparalleled world-building make this a must-read in the Locked Tomb Series.
