eAudioBook
The Ninth House trilogy-Gideon the Ninth, Harrow the Ninth, and Alecto the
Ninth-is an epic science fantasy that blends necromantic theory and thrilling
swordplay with a wicked, sacrilegious sense of humor; a modern mix of Dune,
Riddick, and Gormenghast.
Brought up in the Ninth House 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 servant. She packs up her sword, her shoes, and
her dirty magazines, and prepares to launch her daring escape. But Harrowhark
Nonagesimus, Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House and bone witch extraordinaire,
has other plans for her childhood nemesis.
The Emperor has come calling, inviting the heirs to each of his loyal Houses to
a deadly trial of wits and skill. If Harrow succeeds she will be elevated to
Lyctorhood, becoming an immortal, all-powerful servant of the Resurrection, but
no necromancer can ascend without their cavalier....
