You can preorder now (link in my bio!)
Aquila will also be coming to Kindle Unlimited and print on release (plus one more special announcement). If you would like to be notified when I send out eARC information please comment "ARC" below and I will slip into your DMs with details when I have them (like November).
Much love to

BLURB:
At twenty-one, everyone manifests a symbiont: an invisible companion whose powers shape the course of a life.
Conrada has spent years pretending to be just another invisible serf, yet she can’t resist sabotaging the veneer with impulsive outbursts of her truest self. Her darkest secret only makes things worse: she alone can see everyone’s symbionts. Revealing her gift risks unwanted attention from those who can pay to control it. Best case, she disappears into an experimental program; worst case, she becomes a secret weapon for a private military contractor.
At manifestation, bidding wars erupt over her symbiont, and Conrada becomes the latest acquisition by Aquila Operations; a corporate black-ops consulting firm specializing in the impossible, the unique, and the dangerous. Then her symbiont starts whispering bloodlust and tragic memories in her ear. Images of falling leaves and turning seasons haunt her, and sometimes it’s not clear who is who. If Aquila decides her symbiont makes her a liability no longer worth the risk, it may become her executioner.
Welcome to Aquila.
