Author Tamsyn Muir unveils 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. The Emperor has invited the heirs to each of his loyal Houses to a deadly trial of wits and skill. If Harrowhark, Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House and bone witch extraordinaire succeeds, she will be become an immortal, all-powerful servant of the Resurrection. Without Gideon's sword, Harrow will fail, and the Ninth House will die.
