A Universe of Necromancy and Swords
In a cosmos where death is merely raw material and bone manipulation is high art, the Emperor's immortal Lyctors are dying after ten millennia of service. Enter Gideon Nav - irreverent, sword-obsessed, and desperate to escape the gloomy halls of the Ninth House where she's been trapped since infancy. Her nemesis? Harrowhark Nonagesimus, the Ninth House heir and necromantic prodigy who has tormented Gideon for eighteen years with skeleton constructs and cruel punishments. When the Emperor summons all nine Houses to compete for the honor of becoming new Lyctors, Harrow makes Gideon an unexpected offer: serve as her cavalier during this mysterious challenge, and afterward receive freedom. The Ninth House exists in perpetual twilight, where skeleton servants tend fields and black-robed nuns perform endless prayers before the mysterious Locked Tomb. Gideon's position is uniquely miserable - neither noble nor servant, but an indentured orphan whose mother arrived brain-dead in a dragchute with infant Gideon in a bio-container. For eighteen years, she's endured Harrow's torments while dreaming of escape to join the Cohort, the Emperor's military. When Harrow thwarts Gideon's eighty-seventh escape attempt, their bitter exchange reveals years of hostility. "You're a waste of resources," Harrow sneers, while Gideon responds with obscene gestures and smuggled magazines. Yet Harrow needs Gideon - specifically her sword arm - to answer the Emperor's summons. With their actual cavalier having fled, Harrow reluctantly offers Gideon freedom in exchange for service. What follows is three months of intensive rapier training that contradicts everything Gideon knows about two-handed combat.
