Harrow la novena

Nothing is what it seems in the rooms of the Emperor, and the fate of the galaxy rests on the shoulders of a single woman. The Emperor has recruited Harrowhark Nonagesimus, the last necromancer of the Ninth House, to fight a war lost beforehand. Harrow will have to ally himself with a detestable rival and hone her skills in order to become an angel of undeath, but her health begins to waver, her sword makes him nauseous, and even her mind threatens to betray her. Trapped in the gothic gloom of the Emperor's Mitreo with three unfriendly professors and haunted by the insane ghost of a slaughtered planet, Harrow must face two uncomfortable questions: Is there someone trying to kill her? And if they do, will the universe be a better place?
