Raised by the vicious, soulless nuns, the aged vassals, and the countless skeletons of the Ninth House, Gideon is ready to leave behind a life of slavery and the afterlife as a living corpse. She takes her sword, her shameful journals, and prepares for a daring escape. But her childhood enemy will not let Gideon leave just like that.
The venerable daughter of the Ninth House, the talented necromancer Garrowgark Nonagesimus, has received an invitation from the Emperor himself. She, along with other heirs of the nine great houses, will take part in a deadly test of wits and skill. If she succeeds, Garrowgark will gain immortality and power, becoming the Emperor's Lictor. However, no necromancer can do this without his knight-sword. Without the blade, Gideon Harrow will collapse, and the Ninth House will die.
Although, of course, some things are better left dead.
