The world of “Gideon the Ninth” by Tamsyn Muir is a universe of starships, distant suns, fencing masters, ruthless politics, and lesbian necromancer monks.
Raised by unfriendly, fossilized nuns—ancient servants and countless skeletons—Gideon is ready to betray tradition and refuse slavery and life after death as a living dead person. She sheathes her sword and prepares for a daring escape. But for Nemesis, she has other plans.
Harrohark Nonagesimus, the Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House and an extraordinary bone witch, goes to battle. The Emperor has summoned the heirs of each of the faithful Houses to a deadly duel—an ordeal of mind and skill. If Harrow succeeds, she will become the immortal, all-powerful servant of the God of Resurrection. But no necromancer can fight without her knight. Without Gideon’s rapier, Harrow will fail—and the Ninth House will wither away.
Of course, some things are better left dead.
