The Unnamed Novel

As of yet, it has no name. It does however have a semblance of a plot (note: I have only been thinking this up for two days, so don't expect much). Mot is a PRETA, a human made from the bodies of other humans and machinery, neither human nor machine, PRETAs were made to be expendable human resources, used in armies and in dangerous work they are the lowest of the low, they are also stigmatised because they are not born naturally, they are the ultimate Frankenstein's monster, they have no souls.
During the war however, most of the PRETAs were wiped out in a suicide attack to allow the human pilots to escape, some survived and rumours abound about a terrorist faction.

Mot emerged out of the Desert and meets an old Albino Chinese trader in a bar called Fang, taking a liking to Mot, he gives him a ride to the capital of the Empire, where he meets Fang's adopted daughter Durga, a pale faced girl with a withered arm. While walking the streets, Mot meets a man who he at first mistakes for a boy due to his stature, the man is singularly beautiful and finely dressed in the manner of nobility and he later learns this is the eternally young Prince, a man who has never grown fully and rumours abound that he is secretly a PRETA himself. When Mot and Durga attempt to sneak their way into the palace that night, everything changes when Durga is captured by the young Prince.
