Broken

Set in a time hundreds of thousands of years into the future, the world has reformed into a second Pangea and humans have evolved the ability to consciously manipulate energy (once known as magic). There is one continent, filled with magic and tech, and one Empire, the Empire of Amra. Amra is ruled over by the faceless (and mostly invisible) hand of the Malvilla. Regarded more as boogeymen or gods, the Malvilla are the shadow on the wall that makes the wheels turn. Enter in La'illa. After having committed an unpardonable crime at the age of fourteen, being burned and teched on her entire left side, and then sentenced to die in prison, she is given a second chance at life (though, not that she has much choice). By becoming one of the slaves of the Malvilla, she becomes someone They work Their will through. One of the njavahethen. Following her through her initiation into the ranks of the njavahethen, La'illa learns her place with both tech and magic. And again, as she meets Dja'heth and others, the relationships that will ultimately decide the fate of Amra. Having to balance all she is, all she believes in, and all she comes to fight for isn't easy. In fact, it's anything other than easy to fight against the Malvilla, Those That Own. But La'illa refuses to give in.
