Book II of The Cogheim Quintet.
The Flint-Lock engagement is over, but its smoke hasn't cleared. When the Jade Kirin's docking control finally answers the Captain's hail, what should be a routine compact negotiation turns into something else entirely - a message with no signature, six days old, that means someone on the other side already knows more than they should.
Hundreds of kilometers to the northeast, a woman named Tiffany is starting over aboard a vessel called the Drifter, among a crew that has learned not to ask why someone needed to. She isn't the only one running from something. She won't be the last person the Drifter takes in before the primary node comes into view - and before the Directorate does too.
Alliances get made in rooms with too much at stake and not enough trust. Distances get crossed by people who aren't sure they're allowed to stop moving. And somewhere between a fractured negotiation and a night neither of them planned for, two broken things start building something that might actually last.
The Suture Seams is the second novel in the Cogheim Quintet, a steampunk saga of mobile fortress-cities, compact diplomacy, and the people who hold a broken world together one repair at a time.
