The group will discuss Gideon the Ninth, the award-winning bestseller by Tamsyn Muir. The Emperor needs necromancers. The Ninth Necromancer needs a swordsman. Gideon, brought up by unfriendly, ancient retainers and countless skeletons, is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse.
