The city is crumbling. The dead are rising. And all Nona wants is a birthday party.
She’s sweet, curious, and loves dogs. She teaches kids, takes beach walks, and tries to be normal. But Nona is not normal. Six months ago, she woke up in a stranger’s body. Now she’s being told she might be the key to stopping the war between the Nine Houses and the rebels at the gates.
She doesn’t want to be a weapon. She wants a life.
With the planet teetering on the edge of ruin and strange dreams haunting her sleep, Nona has to decide who she is, who she wants to be, and what she’s willing to become.
Wildly inventive and deeply emotional, Nona the Ninth is like nothing you’ve read before.
