The sua: spirits from another realm, summoned and infused into objects since time immemorial. Once they were subjects of worship; now, they toil for humanity’s sake. But not for much longer, as the human race finds new technologies to replace them and the sua themselves clamor for liberation.
Jahya, a bodyguard-for-hire, knew too well about both sides of that struggle. She and her partner Teşkul, a sua sword, can barely make a living. Then comes an assignment that changes everything: Protect a woman fleeing the last remaining institution of sua summoning and control.
Because it’s not just the human masters of sua who want her. It’s the rebels as well, who’ve set in motion plans that could finally give the sua a place on earth to call their own.
Assuming it doesn’t destroy them all first!

Last time I posted in this series, I introduced a few of the main characters: Jahya and Teşkul, the sua-wielder and her sword partner; Othei and Runak, an ex-officer of the authority that brings sua into the world, and the sua codex she's stolen from them; and Fioka and Azual, the sua revolutionaries who each have very different plans about how to bring liberation to their people.

The final, and I do hope I mean final, proof copy for Unmortal landed on my doorstep late today. It's more of a formality than anything else; all the really heavy lifting on that book is finished. I still plan to give it a breeze-through before signing off on it, though.
