“Deft, tense and atmospheric, compellingly immersive and wildly original.” - The New York Timeson Gideon the Ninth
“Lesbian necromancers explore a haunted gothic palace in space! Decadent nobles vie to serve the deathless emperor! Skeletons!” -Charles Stross on Gideon the Ninth
Harrow the Ninth, the New York Times and USA Today bestselling sequel to Gideon the Ninth, turns a galaxy inside out as one necromancer struggles to survive the wreckage of herself aboard the Emperor's haunted space station. Of course, some things are better left dead.Includes 40+ pages of original content, including a never-before-available Locked Tomb short story. Without Gideon's sword, Harrow will fail, and the Ninth House will die. If Harrowhark succeeds she will be become an immortal, all-powerful servant of the Resurrection, but no necromancer can ascend without their cavalier. The Emperor has invited the heirs to each of his loyal Houses to a deadly trial of wits and skill. Harrowhark Nonagesimus, Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House and bone witch extraordinaire, has been summoned into action. But her childhood nemesis won't set her free without a service. She packs up her sword, her shoes, and her dirty magazines, and prepares to launch her daring escape. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy.īrought 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. Her characters leap off the page, as skillfully animated as arcane revenants. Tamsyn Muir's Gideon the Ninth, first in The Locked Tomb Trilogy, unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Gideon has a sword, some dirty magazines, and no more time for undead nonsense. The Ninth Necromancer needs a swordswoman. "Brilliantly original, messy and weird straight through." -NPR "Lesbian necromancers explore a haunted gothic palace in space" -Charles Stross
