Makhana: The Search - Paperback

by Katrina Powley (Author)

On the machine-world of Makhana, every cyborg is designed with a purpose-- but who decides what that purpose is?

Lila is thriving. As assistant to the city's most powerful attorney, she has the career, the color, and the confidence to match. Then a new Fledgling named Zhawn is placed in her care, and Lila's carefully ordered world begins to crack. Riots are spreading through the city's subway tunnels. Cyborgs are vanishing without a trace. Strange occurrences Lila can't explain pull her and Zhawn toward questions-and danger-neither of them understand.

As Lila digs deeper into the unrest tearing her city apart, she uncovers a conspiracy reaching into the highest offices of Metropole- a truth about the missing that no one wants spoken aloud. With unlikely allies at her side and a shadowy enemy always one step ahead, Lila must decide how far she'll go to answer her questions and bring about justice - even if it means confronting the very system she once trusted completely.

Rich with inventive world-building and a cast of unforgettable characters, Makhana: The Search is a story about identity, belonging, and the quiet voice that calls us toward purpose even in the darkest moments. Fans of imaginative and speculative fiction will find themselves swept into a world unlike any other-one where the search for the lost is never abandoned.

The search begins. Will you follow it to the end?
