A woman with unusual skills was buried in antiquity, sealed into a charnel pit. Sadly, she wasn't quite dead. Now it seems she never really will be. Through a unique series of events her essence becomes stuck in the here and now, hurtled into a badly traumatized body with substantial holdover baggage. She decides the resulting dilemmas which unfold as she recovers and adjusts to her new existence mean her only real option in this new life is to have 'Uncle Sam' kill her off. The trick for Setna will be in engineering an end to this new 'after-afterlife' without either ending up in an institution for the more than moderately disturbed or being permanently removed from it, again. Her plan is audacious in the extreme, like all her plans it's also a work in progress, even as it's carried out. Allowing that survival's even possible, then it seems everyone around her will have some adjustments to make, not only in compensating for her ancient, quite direct moral code and unique sense of humor, but as they discover themselves helping out while she fights in both the old world and new to both keep what was hers in antiquity and alleviate the greatest threat which western civilization has seen since the dark ages.
