Description
Gideon the Ninth is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy that introduces a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse. She packs up her sword, her shoes, and her dirty magazines, and prepares to launch her daring escape. However, her childhood nemesis won't set her free without a service. Harrowhark Nonagesimus, a bone witch extraordinaire, has been summoned into action. The Emperor has invited the heirs to each of his loyal Houses to a deadly trial of wits and skill. If Harrowhark 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. A tense and atmospheric tale of loyalty, power, and identity, Gideon the Ninth is a compellingly immersive read that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
