Sebastian A. Jones' J.R.R. Tolkien-inspired epic fantasy universe is being adapted as a drama series for HBO. According to Deadline, "Asunda is set in the culturally rich but war-torn world of Asunda, where an orphan girl is born of two nations and raised in a small desert town. Hunted by all, she will search for her ancestors and the courage to bind them against an ancient enemy... (Asunda is) a culturally diverse but war-battered world where magic and swords often determine the course of history."
