Basilica
Built by megacorporations in humanity’s waning years, Basilica is the last functioning city on Earth. The Jean-Fa Dynasty, the family that has held majority control of this artificial island and its oligarchic government for decades, will soon fall.
Only the four surviving progeny — Ana, the youngest, her older brother, Dante, their estranged cousin, Eveline, and their troubled uncle, Jack — have any chance of saving themselves from a grim tomorrow. Together, aided by their personal array of unique talents and the technological innovation known as the magnetvakt, the last Jean-Fas will struggle to restore order to their lives, seek out unexpected allies, and take on old foes. Family bonds will be strained, broken, and mended and the city’s darkest secrets will be revealed.
Ultimately, Ana, Dante, Eveline, and Jack will seek justice for their family, a family whose tragic fate might have been the only justice they ever deserved.

Love it!
It took me a couple of chapters to get into the flow of the author’s writing style. But once I did, I totally enjoyed the book.
This is a good story, well told and I am confident you will also enjoy it as much as I did.
