OONA 13 by Stephen Taylor — cover

OONA 13

What happens when the machines start believing in the gods…

In a land that faith forgot, the last believers were made of metal, and the Crown burned them all for refusing to forget.

Welcome to Threadneedle, the Crown’s frozen outpost where exiled war hero Kael Darron arrives to find his assignment already finished: Lord Edric Thorn lies dead, and the village is unraveling into suspicion and silence. At the center of it all is a girl whose touch wakes quantum circuits long believed dormant.

The Crown wants to weaponize her. Something older wants to use her. And the one who might save her was never built to choose. OONA 13 is a post-collapse parable of rebellion, memory, and redemption—where theology and tech are two sides of the same coin, and the soul might just live in the space between.
