Description
Gideon the Ninth is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy that follows Gideon, a young necromancer, as she prepares to launch her daring escape from a life of servitude. Brought up by unfriendly nuns and countless skeletons, Gideon packs up her sword, shoes, and dirty magazines, ready to leave her afterlife as a reanimated corpse behind. However, her childhood nemesis, Harrowhark, has been summoned into action by the Emperor, who has invited the heirs to each of his loyal Houses to a deadly trial of wits and skill. If Harrow succeeds, she will become an immortal, all-powerful servant of the Resurrection, but no necromancer can ascend without their cavalier. Without Gideon's sword, Harrow will fail, and the Ninth House will die. This solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers is skillfully animated, bringing characters to life in a way that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
