The Emperor needs necromancers.

The Ninth Necromancer needs a swordswoman.

Gideon has a sword, some dirty magazines, and no more time for undead nonsense.

Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap off the page, as skillfully animated as arcane revenants. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy.

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. She packs up her sword, her shoes, and her dirty magazines, and prepares to launch her daring escape. But her childhood nemesis won’t set her free without a service.

Harrowhark Nonagesimus, Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House and bone witch extraordinaire, has been summoned into action. The Emperor has invited the heirs to each of his loyal Houses to a deadly trial of wits and skill. If Harrowhark succeeds she will be become an immortal, all-powerful servant of the Resurrection, but no necromancer can ascend without their cavalier. Without Gideon’s sword, Harrow will fail, and the Ninth House will die.

Of course, some things are better left dead.

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?

“Deft, tense and atmospheric, compellingly immersive and wildly original.” —The New York Times on Gideon the Ninth

Her city is under siege.

The zombies are coming back.

And all Nona wants is a birthday party.

In many ways, Nona is like other people. She lives with her family, has a job at her local school, and loves walks on the beach and meeting new dogs. But Nona's not like other people. Six months ago she woke up in a stranger's body, and she's afraid she might have to give it back.

The whole city is falling to pieces. A monstrous blue sphere hangs on the horizon, ready to tear the planet apart. Blood of Eden forces have surrounded the last Cohort facility and wait for the Emperor Undying to come calling. Their leaders want Nona to be the weapon that will save them from the Nine Houses. Nona would prefer to live an ordinary life with the people she loves, with Pyrrha and Camilla and Palamedes, but she also knows that nothing lasts forever.

And each night, Nona dreams of a woman with a skull-painted face...

When a stranger comes to town, secrets are sure to come out. New York Times bestselling author Tamsyn Muir spins a twisty—and twisted—short story of revenge and survival.

A fresh-faced newcomer arrives in an isolated, gang-run town and soon finds herself taking a job nobody else wants: bodyguard to a ghoul. Not just your average mindless, half-rotted shuffler, though. Lucille is a dancer who can still put on her own lipstick and whose shows are half burlesque, half gladiator match. But the stranger is no stranger to this particular ghoul. Both women are undercover in their own way. And both have something to lose if their connection comes to light.

La inclasificable novela que ha ganado el Premio Locus 2020 al debut del año y ha sido finalista de los premios Hugo, Nebula y World Fantasy a la mejor novela.

El Emperador necesita nigromantes. La nigromante de la Novena necesita una espadachina. Gideon tiene una espada, unas revistas guarras y ninguna paciencia para tonterías con los muertos vivientes.

Después de haber sido criada por profesoras antipáticas y osificadas, sirvientes vetustos y una infinidad de esqueletos, Gideon está lista para abandonar una vida de servidumbre y un más allá como cadáver reanimado. Mete su espada y sus revistas guarras en la maleta y se prepara para su audaz escapada. Pero su némesis de la infancia no piensa dejar que se libere así como así.

Harrowhark Nonagesimus, reverenda hija de la Novena Casa y extraordinaria bruja de los huesos, ha sido convocada. El Emperador ha invitado a los herederos de cada una de sus leales casas a una prueba mortal que someterá a examen su inteligencia y sus habilidades. Si Harrowhark Nonagesimus tiene éxito, se convertirá en una sirviente inmortal y todopoderosa de la Resurrección, pero ningún nigromante ha sido capaz de conseguirlo sin la ayuda de su caballero. Sin la espada de Gideon, Harrow fracasará y la Novena Casa terminará por desaparecer.

Y hay cosas que es mejor dejar muertas.

Library Journal

Nada es lo que parece en las estancias del Emperador, y el destino de la galaxia descansa sobre los hombros de una única mujer.

El Emperador ha reclutado a Harrowhark Nonagesimus, la última nigromante de la Novena Casa, para combatir en una guerra perdida de antemano. Harrow tendrá que aliarse con una rival detestable y perfeccionar sus habilidades para así convertirse en un ángel de la no-muerte, pero su salud empieza a flaquear, su espada le da náuseas e incluso su mente amenaza con traicionarla.

Presa en la gótica penumbra del Mitreo del Emperador con tres profesores nada amigables y perseguida por el fantasma demente de un planeta masacrado, Harrow deberá hacer frente a dos preguntas incómodas: ¿hay alguien que intenta matarla?

Y, en caso de conseguirlo, ¿será el universo un lugar mejor?
