    Cain Makala sees threads of energy that connect everything and everyone, a legacy from a father he never knew, considered the greatest bioterrorist in the world. Lucca Nichiga compulsively draws the same patterns: portraits of the fabric of reality that he cannot decipher. Two young people, two fragments of the same mystery, separated until Xiamtec, the corporation that governs behind the governments, puts them in the same target. Fleeing is just the beginning. In a Brazil taken over by corporate fascism, they discover that the webs are bridges to ancestral entities: the Orixás are not mythology, and their return could undo the world. One sees in light. The other, in graphite. Together, they are the only key.

    On the threshold between dystopian reality and speculative nightmare, Makala is a reading experience that combines the visceral tension of Orange Is the New Black, the biotechnological horror of Ex Machina, and the afrofuturist social critique of N.K. Jemisin. Jemisin. Luiza Moradi, a Brazilian doctor of Iranian descent, has her bright future in emerging disease research interrupted during a layover at Los Angeles airport. For carrying a "suspicious" name, she is torn from the real world and thrown into an immigrant detention center, where humans are reduced to numbers and treated as tools. With Luiza is also João Pedro Makala, a programr who refused to accept the American dream, but for that reason, was also devoured by the system. While they struggle to survive the violence and dehumanization, the duo discovers that the camp is not just a holding place for unwanted immigrants, but the secret laboratory of a biotech megacorporation. Between the desperate need to escape and the struggle to maintain sanity, Luiza and Makala find themselves at the center of a conspiracy that transcends the physical boundary of the camp. With the help of other prisoners, including the Angolan Kafuxi, who carries the ancestral strength of Exu, they must confront not only the horror of what they are becoming but also the calculating coldness of a system that considers them disposable. MAKALA is a dive into biotechnological horror, into structural racism that wears a white coat, and into afrofuturism that finds strength even in the dark cell. And for those who know that sometimes the name that must not be spoken is the only one that keeps us alive.
