ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Harrow
the Ninth, the sequel to the sensational, USA Today best-selling novel 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.

She answered the emperor’s call.

She arrived with her arts, her wits, and her only friend.

In victory, her world has turned to ash.

After rocking the cosmos with her deathly debut, Tamsyn Muir continues the
story of the penumbral Ninth House in Harrow the Ninth, a mind-twisting puzzle
box of mystery, murder, magic, and mayhem. Nothing is as it seems in the
halls of the emperor, and the fate of the galaxy rests on one woman’s
shoulders.

Harrowhark Nonagesimus, last necromancer of the Ninth House, has been
drafted by her emperor to fight an unwinnable war. Side-by-side with a
detested rival, Harrow must perfect her skills and become an angel of undeath
- but her health is failing, her sword makes her nauseous, and even her mind
is threatening to betray her.

Sealed in the Gothic gloom of the emperor’s Mithraeum with three unfriendly
teachers, hunted by the mad ghost of a murdered planet, Harrow must confront
two unwelcome questions: Is somebody trying to kill her? And if they
succeeded, would the universe be better off?
