In this second novel of the Locked Tomb Trilogy, Harrow has survived and won the contest to become one of the Emperor's Lyctors although it came at the cost of her companion, Gideon's life. But she has arrived at God's habitation ready to serve him. Unfortunately, she finds that she has arrived to face what could be an unwinnable war.
The other Lyctors are not welcoming and some are directly hostile. Her main teacher spends his time trying to kill her which is his way of getting her ready for battle. She spends her days and nights in ward-protected rooms, her only friend the other survivor from the first competition.
Eventually, all blows up in a climatic battle and revelation about Harrow's backstory and how the Locked Tomb came into existence. Those who enjoyed Gideon the Ninth will also enjoy this second book in the series which explains more of what is happening in this totally unique world.
