Harrow La Novena /Harrow the Ninth

Resumen del Libro

Tras sacudir el cosmos con Gideon la Novena, su mortífera novela galardonada con el Premio Locus 2020 al debut del año, Tamsyn Muir continúa su retorcido rompecabezas lleno de misterio, asesinatos, magia 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?
