Don’t look at her blood, or lick her bones, or do any of the shit necromancers lie and say they don’t do the moment two of them get nasty.

Tamsyn Muir, Harrow the Ninth [Bookshop, Amazon, Publisher]

Hermetic quote Muir Harrow the Ninth the shit necromancers lie and say they dont do

Consider also:

  1. “She had found a nasty, forbidden little book in the great Ninth repositories of nasty, forbidden little books, and all the Houses would have had a collective aneurysm if they knew she’d even read it.”
  2. “Unexpectedly, this did not kill her; and what did not kill her made her curious.”
  3. “Act accordingly, to Gideon, meant being secret and abstruse and super obsessed with tomes.”
  4. “Holy shit, human beings, the shit they come up with.”
  5. “Yea, king and queen of Sheol, terrible Above all fiends and furies, hating more The high Jehovah, loving Baal Peor, Our father and our lover and our god! Yea, though he lift his adamantine rod And pierce us through, how shall his anger tame Fire that glows fiercer for the brand of shame Thrust in it; so, we who are all of fire, One dull red flare of devilish desire, The God of Israel shall not quench with tears, Nor blood of martyrs drawn from myriad spheres, Nor watery blood of Christ; that blood shall boil With all the fury of our hellish toil; His veins shall dry with heat; his bones shall bleach Cold and detested, picked of dogs, on each Dry separate dunghill of burnt Golgotha.”
