GHOST EXILE questions: did Callatas and Jadriga ever meet?
A reader asks concerning GHOST EXILE:
Did Callatas and Jadriga ever meet?
Good question!
No, for a couple reasons, and some of those reasons will be significant in coming GHOST EXILE books.
One, Jadriga was much older than Callatas. By the time of the GHOSTS books, Callatas was over two hundred years old. Jadriga, however, had existed in some form or another for nearly twenty-five centuries, so while Callatas was a blip upon her radar (more on that below), he wasn’t that much different than many other rival sorcerers she had crushed over the centuries, so she didn’t see him as a significant threat, and was confident she could destroy him if necessary.
Two, Jadriga always avoided the region near Istarinmul because of the loremasters of Iramis. When Callatas destroyed it, Iramis was one of the oldest cities in the world, and the loremasters of Iramis were perhaps the oldest extant organization of sorcerers upon the world. Iramis fought several wars against ancient Maat before Callatas destroyed it, so the loremasters were experts in fighting Maatish necromancy, and they knew what Jadriga was and knew how to fight her. So for that reason she avoided the region around Istarinmul and Iramis and kept away from the loremasters whenever possible.
Third, when Callatas destroyed Iramis, he did it to give himself a free hand to work his Apotheosis, but he also unknowingly removed one of Jadriga’s biggest opponents. Jadriga became aware of him then, along with his plans for the Apotheosis, but she ignored him, partly because he had removed one of her enemies, and partly because she might be able to manipulate him into doing something useful in the future. She thought the Apotheosis was folly, but didn’t trouble herself to stop it, because she knew she would complete her great work before Callatas could finish his Apotheosis.
There are also a couple of other reasons, but we won’t go into them here because of spoilers. 
But needless to say, this will turn up in future GHOST EXILE books. The evil legacy of ancient Maat has caused Caina grief before (CHILD OF THE GHOSTS, GHOST IN THE FORGE, GHOST IN THE MASK) and it will do so yet again.

if was Jadriga was hit by the weapons from ghost in the hunt will she die
It would depend on the location of the battle. If she was killed by anything in the netherworld, she would be permanently dead.
In the material world, a valikon could kill her, but it wouldn’t destroy her the way it would destroy a nagataaru or an elemental in a living body, and so Jadriga could take another body. The sword of the nagataaru that Kalgri uses could kill her, but again it wouldn’t destroy her and she could claim another body. Additionally, Jadriga would also know spells to ward against nagataaru and banish them back to the netherworld.
