Rejex: A Dystopian Novel
In a heartless dystopian world where anyone who's different is rejected, a tribe of exiled rebels revolts against a prejudiced Big Brother. Rejex, the first of a book trilogy, is for anyone who has felt rejected or unloved, who has felt like an outsider, or been bullied, because you are not alone.
On a hidden planet somewhere in the galaxy, there's a culture clash between a heartless high-tech society and a world full of ancient magick.
Below environmentally ravaged Mainlandia, an underground city is ruled by hooded bullies and intolerant thinking. And, anyone who doesn't conform is labeled a "rejex" and cast out to the perilous island of Geto-mostly to be swept away and forgotten. But on that distant island, an uproarious game of Bonko is watched by a "rainbow" of happy outsiders, a riot of rejexes. One teen rebel, Aiya, dreams of escaping Geto and discovering why her people have been walled off from Mainlandia.
Aiya's mother, Ma-Tu, was formerly an "adept" on Mainlandia, while Aiya's mentor Alkima, another rejex, is now schooled in alchemic arts and medicine. Freed from societal constraints and prejudice and using the powerful, natural forces of "magick," Aiya and her fellow outsiders are evolving into an irresistible force on Geto.
When Aiya meets handsome Abana excelling at Bonko, they have an immediate attraction. So, he teaches her martial arts and her dream inspires him. Then when Alkima gets a cry for help from Mainlandia, they can't resist the call to leave their island home together and go down the rabbit hole to the underground city. But what awaits them is ripped from their worst nightmares. And what's more, something truly dark is coming, thirty days and counting...
