About This Audiobook
Nona Grey has spent years training for the moment she becomes a full sister in her chosen order. Now war has reached the Corridor itself, with two armies pressing from opposite ends of the empire's last habitable strip of land. The third and final Book of the Ancestor novel pulls no punches about what the conclusion demands — from Nona, from her friends, from the world itself. Mark Lawrence closes the trilogy with the same fierce clarity that opened it.
Heather O'Neill has narrated all three books, and her performance here carries the accumulated weight of the full arc. She has rendered Nona's brutal competence with a restraint that makes the vulnerability all the more affecting, and the climactic sequences of this award-winning finale benefit enormously from her command of pacing and emotional register. The absence of a listed runtime should not deter listeners — this is the kind of audiobook that makes hours disappear.
