Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
Necromancers and their sword-fighting cavaliers star in Gideon the Ninth (2019), Tamsyn Muir’s radically original debut novel, which has been nominated for the 2019 Nebula Award.

At the same time, it’s set in an interstellar empire consisting of nine planets, each one ruled by a different House of necromancers.
