Harrowhark Nonagesimus, Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House and bone witch extraordinaire, has been summoned into action. The Emperor has invited the heirs to each of his loyal Houses to a deadly trial of wits and skill. If Harrowhark succeeds she will be become an immortal, all-powerful servant of the Resurrection, but no necromancer can ascend without their cavalier. Without Gideon’s sword, Harrow will fail, and the Ninth House will die. Of course, some things are better left dead.

In the next chapter, the same girl grows up in Vienna after World War I, but a pact she makes with a young man leads to a second death. In the next scenario, she survives adolescence and moves to Russia with her husband. Both are dedicated Communists, yet our heroine ends up in a labor camp. But her fate does not end there…. A novel of incredible breadth and amazing concision, The End of Days offers a unique overview of the twentieth century.

If teleportation wasn't for the sake of posturing, then it would be meaningless ...If defeating a Peak Elder, peerless heaven's pride level expert would be a sin, I would already be full of evil ...If getting the Ice Goddess, the silly loli, and the sexy princess falling in love with me at first sight is my fault, I was really wrong ...If he were to kill them, he would annihilate their entire clan.
