y caos.
«Un viaje increíble por el caos de la mente». --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?
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Harrow the Ninth, the sequel to the sensational, USA Today best-selling
novel Gideon the Ninth, turns a galaxy inside out as one necromancer
struggles to survive the wreckage of herself aboard the emperor's
haunted space station.
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?
