Ela pega sua espada, seus sapatos e suas revistas de sacanagem e se prepara para uma fuga ousada. Porém, sua nêmesis de infância não a deixará ir sem antes completar uma última tarefa. Harrowhark Nonagesimus, Reverenda Filha da Nona Casa e bruxa de ossos extraordinária, recebeu um chamado. O Imperador convidou os herdeiros de todas as suas leais Casas para um teste mortal de habilidade e inteligência. Se Harrowhark obtiver sucesso, ela se tornará uma serva imortal e poderosa da Ressurreição — mas nenhum necromante pode ascender sem seu cavaleiro.
