Description
In a decaying empire of nine distinct Houses, each with its own necromantic specialty, Gideon Nav has spent her life as an indentured servant to the Ninth House, surrounded by bone dust and ancient skeletons. When the Ninth House's heir, Harrowhark Nonagesimus, is summoned to compete in a deadly trial to become an immortal Lyctor, Gideon reluctantly agrees to serve as her cavalier. Thrown into a treacherous game of politics and magic alongside representatives from the other Houses, Gideon and Harrow must navigate a labyrinth of secrets, betrayals, and ancient grudges. Tamsyn Muir masterfully blends gothic horror, science fiction, and dark humor in this unforgettable tale of duty, sacrifice, and the enduring power of unlikely alliances.

This was so interesting to read. I was confused for most of the book, space necromancy politics and too many people with multiple names that I couldn't fully keep straight.<br/>But I loved it, had some idea of what ending it was working towards and it still caught me almost by surprise
