Description
A reckoning. A rebellion. The worlds of artificial intelligence and ancient magic collide.
Crystal City glistens with diamonds, but its dazzling beauty comes at a
deadly price. The capital of Khalendar thrives on a steady supply of
gemstones from the neighboring Barrens, a colony of the Empire. Walter
Saltanetska translates AI code for the Khalendar government, helping to
breathe life into the ambitious vision of the AI Masters. When Walter
discovers a terrible secret which could destroy the life of his lover,
Elaine, he decides to tell her despite strict orders to keep what he
translates confidential. What begins as a catastrophe eventually grows
into a rebellion. Elaine is taken captive by the AI Masters, and Walter
must do everything in his power to rescue her. He starts his quest with a
single goal in mind, finding Elaine, but along the way Walter discovers
that saving her is only a small part of his destiny. During his
travels, he encounters a long-lost relative, a warrior matriarch, and a
mystical kingdom forgotten to time. Yet Walter's true journey occurs not
in physical space, but the captivating depths of his mind.
An
inventive blend of dystopian science-fiction and fantasy, the Jade
Rebellion explores whether we can overcome technological determinism by
preserving history, nature, spirituality, and ultimately, our humanity.

MacKenzie has created a great debut novel and I am excited to see what she does next. The book is not perfect but who's first novel is, it is interesting and has room for a lot of development.
