Time of the Stones

A thousand years ago, civilization fell into ruin. The Ancients used the last of their power to forge the seven Stones, so their children would not forget ...

Nomads disturb a Stone, activating the sentient AI named Susan. She programs living organisms to form a new body for herself. Nanotechnology grows into a tool to feed and heal people. For the first time in history, everyone can be truly free.

Entrenched powers of religion and politics don't give up so easily. Susan uses beauty and intelligence to influence human events, preferring to fight in the bedroom rather than the battlefield. Her Stone must not become the pawn of a planetary dictatorship.
