When Nona Grey is taken to their halls, however, not even the mistresses of blade and shadow fully realise what they have bought.
A bloodstained child of nine falsely accused of murder, guilty of worse, Nona is stolen from the shadow of the noose. A Red Sister must be trained in the ways of the sword and fist for 10 years, but under Abbess Glass's tutelage, there is much more to learn than just the techniques of killing. Nona makes new adversaries as well as a new family in her class.
The complex intrigues of a collapsing empire are revealed when Nona's violent and hidden history is discovered, despite the safety and seclusion of the convent. Her presence revives long-standing rivalries, starting violent conflicts within the church and even catching the emperor's attention.
Nona Grey has to conquer her inner demons under a setting sun, then unleash them on anybody who is in her path.
