Jay Posey - Every Sky A Grave

Every Sky a Grave is a space opera that follows Elyth, an agent in the all-female First House, a holy order that maintains galactic peace by using a powerful "Deep Language" to literally rewrite reality. Trained as a planetary assassin, Elyth believes in her cause and uses her abilities to "correct" worlds deemed a threat to the ruling Ascendance. Her faith is challenged when she is sent on a clandestine mission to the remote planet Qel. Her task is to suppress an uprising linked to a forbidden strain of the Deep Language that was thought to have been eradicated. However, the situation is more complex than it appears, and Elyth uncovers deeper secrets about the First House, her own abilities, and an unknown, alien adversary that cannot be controlled by the Deep Language. The book is an exploration of the power of words, the nature of truth, and questioning authority.
