Grey Sister (Book of the Ancestor)

Product Information

Informed Ability: Becomes a plot-point in Holy Sister. Sister Pan has a reputation as an immensely powerful Mystic Sister, but she's also incredibly old and infirm and hasn't used her powers in decades, with some of the novices, especially Clera, wondering if she's really all that special. Then she finally gets to show off what she can do near the end of the trilogy, and if anything, her reputation undersold her. Lost Technology: Arksteel, shiphearts, and many other devices are the scavenged remnants of the ships that first brought humanity to Abeth, their workings long-since forgotten as the knowledge and resources to maintain them was lost under the ice. Finding a way to open and then operate the Ark forms the premise of the Chosen One prophecy.

Fantastic Honorifics: The aristocrats of the Empire are called 'Sis', and as a result a noble family's surname always has the syllable '-sis' added to the end of it. In Season 16, Maggie begins a relationship with Winston Ndugu, who she had worked with during her residency and reconnected with at a medical conference in the previous season. Because Winston is employed at a hospital in Boston, he and Maggie keep their long-distance relationship alive through frequent video chats and phone calls. As the COVID-19 pandemic worsens, Winston travels to Seattle to surprise Maggie and help out at the hospital and their relationship grows deeper. Winston soon after proposes to Maggie, and she accepts; they marry in the Season 17 finale. Corrupt Church: The Church of the Ancestor isn't particularly devout and its members are decidedly venal. Despite this, they loathe the idea their primary concern is money and have a few principles they stand by. Of course, this chiefly applies to the top ranks of the Church, who have the most religious and secular power. There are plenty of honest clergy in the rank-and-file of the Church who are perfectly sincere in their faith.All that stands between her and these choices are the pride of a thwarted assassin, the designs of a would-be empress wielding the Inquisition like a knife, and the vengeance of the empire’s richest lord. There was a point in this story – around 60% -- when it dawned on me that I wasn’t going to be able to finish the rest of the book in one sitting. I immediately began rearranging my priorities over the next 24 hours to justify finishing it as soon as possible. (‘Do the kids REALLY need a bath? They’re just going to be covered in mud and paint again tomorrow…’ and so forth.) That’s when I realized that Mark Lawrence has once again set a new high mark for his impressive library of work with the second Book of the Ancestor, Grey Sister. Lawrence delivers breathtaking action scenes and harrowing moments of tension that further Nona’s story -- and the world at large -- in exciting new directions. Goldberg, Lesley (September 25, 2014).

Pay Evil unto Evil: At the climax of Grey Sister Nona subjects Thuran Tacsis to the Harm, his own torture device; the experience leaves him so weakened and debilitated that, though he's still alive by Holy Sister he's surrendered all the running of House Tacsis to his son Lano. Nona, for her part, is ashamed by what she did and, even though she knows Thuran probably deserved it, still considers the act a stain on her honor. What's more, using the flesh-bind to do it meant that she didn't have it on hand later to save Darla.. a b Aurthur, Kate (January 29, 2015).

The Chosen One: Deconstructed and played with as the nuns are all clear the prophecy is made up but the fact people believe in it makes it powerful. Cast from Hit Points: Those with strong ancestry in the four tribes tend not to live long. The powers and strength granted by their bloodline are very taxing on the body. When I auditioned, all they told me was that the character might recur a little bit into Season 11; they did not tell me it was Meredith's sister and there was long-term potential. I had no idea the scope of it in terms of how [she] fit into the mythology of the series. Her character ties into a lot of things that have already occurred in these people's lives.a b Abrams, Natalie (July 15, 2014).

Razor Floss: One of the tools of a Grey Sister are absurdly sharp wires, which gets particular focus in Holy Sister since the final exam of Shade is setting one up and then navigating it in complete darkness. Sherzal is finally killed when she evades one trap in the Ark, only to run into Ara's wire trap and be gruesomely eviscerated. Out-Gambitted: Sherzal gets completely played by Abbess Glass's last scheme posthumously executed by Nona and her friends culminating in Sherzal's own death.
