INSIDE THIS BOOK
A closer look.
In Kelarth, gods are made of clay. Most are expected to keep working.
Sera Pell makes her living repairing ceramics. At a public washhouse, a god asks for an uneven reed tune instead of a work beat. Then a tile cracks, and a paid repair leads Sera to a dangerous discrepancy in the city's safety records.
Her former husband, Adran, has kept proof of an old disaster for seven years. Bringing it into the open will threaten the life he preserved with a lie. Sera still wants him, but wanting him cannot restore the people who died, or make his confession a pardon.
With a renewal order approaching, Sera must find people willing to risk a different repair. Her assistant has work of her own. The neighbours have homes they cannot afford to lose. And the gods have wishes that do not fit anyone's schedule.
The Gods We Never Finished is a standalone adult fantasy with an invented mythology and a mature love story. It follows craftspeople, neighbours and speaking clay gods through a conflict in which safety, livelihood and the freedom to stop cannot be repaired by a miracle.
