Gideon Nav is a sword-wielding orphan stuck serving Harrowhark, a bone witch she's hated her entire life. When they're summoned to a decaying space palace to compete for necromantic power, Gideon has to be Harrow's cavalier — or die. Lesbian necromancers in space, told with the voice of a meme-poisoned millennial. There is nothing else like it.
Clean — the tension is all subtext and yearning.

Yes. That's the pitch and it's accurate.
Gideon's voice is relentlessly funny — even when terrible things happen.
