Lord Sunday is the presumptive title of the seventh book, as yet unreleased, in Garth Nix's The Keys to the Kingdom series. The books in the series titles' are taken from the major antagonist within them; and since there are seven antagonists, with each having their own book, it is presumed there will be seven books, the last titled Lord Sunday.
[edit] The Character
Sunday is the eldest son of the The Old One and the The Architect, his brothers the Mariner and the Piper being the second and third children respectively. He wields the Seventh Key, and rules the The Incomparable Gardens. He has ultimate authority in the House. However, he tends to leave the charge of the day-to-day affairs to his deputy, Superior Saturday.
One of the Seven Trustees, Lord Sunday defied the First Part of the Will of his mother and, along with the six other Trustees, kept his demesne and Key for himself.
Though little is known about Sunday, it is known that he opposes the Old One; when the Piper attempted to release the Old One from the binding laid upon him by the Architect Herself, Lord Sunday cast the Piper into the Void of Nothing, nearly destroying him, however it is revealed in Superior Saturday that Saturday is the one who threw the Piper into the Void. Lord Sunday is also likely to be the most powerful and important being in the House since the Architect's disappearance. It is also mentioned that each Key only has full power on its own day and in its own realm, the only exception being Sunday's which is "paramount", further confirming Sunday's superiority.
Each of the Trustees are afflicted with a deadly sin. Six of the seven have been portrayed, leaving only pride. Saturday is envious of Sunday's realm and key, of which Proud Lord Sunday infrequently shows her glimpses.
