Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap out of the audio, as skillfully animated as arcane revenants. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy.

Also packt Gideon ihr Schwert und ihre Pornohefte ein, um endlich zu verschwinden. Doch sie wird erwischt. Zur Strafe soll sie Harrowhark als Schwertmeisterin an den kaiserlichen Hof begleiten, wo diese, gemeinsam mit den Erben der anderen royalen Häuser, an einem Wettkampf auf Leben und Tod teilnimmt.
