Tamsyn Muir's Locked Tomb series begins with Gideon Nav, a sword-wielding servant who is forced to accompany necromancer Harrowhark Nonagesimus to a deadly imperial trial. Gideon the Ninth, Harrow the Ninth and Nona the Ninth are closely connected but change narrator, structure and even the reader's understanding of earlier events, so they need to be read in order.
