Nine houses, one invitation, and a sword that will not stay quiet

Gideon Nav has spent her life trapped in the crumbling Ninth House, surrounded by bones, prayers, and a nun like devotion to death. All she wants is out, and she is ready to fight for it with the only talent anyone has ever valued in her: a blade and a bad attitude.

Then Harrowhark Nonagesimus, the Ninth House necromancer and Gideon’s lifelong enemy, gets a summons from the Emperor. The heirs of the Nine Houses are called to an ancient, sealed facility, where trials promise power, status, and a place among the Emperor’s immortal servants.

Harrow needs a swordswoman to keep her alive. Gideon needs a ticket off the planet. But once they arrive, the rooms are full of secrets, the rules keep shifting, and someone starts picking competitors off one by one.
