A Daughter Of Her People — Diana Murray

The Journey You Start Isn't The One You Finish  It's Year 0093 in the New Calendar, 2165 in the Old. The second volume of Technium finds Hannah Joyner, a young girl abducted from her village to be a sex slave, lost in the vastness of the Great Plains with her renegade guides, half-brothers Jed and Max Kleer.Their journey becomes a battle of wills and wits—with each other and with the perilous environment. Along the way, the characters spend the winter in a long-abandoned house on the prairie where they discover clues about the past, a forbidden subject in the New Order.Hannah wrestles with questions: who is she, a daughter of her people, or an individual with rights and a mind of her own? Can she be both? Her protectors, Jed and Max Kleer, face their own dilemma: are they free men capable of redemption, or soulless units of the Technium their society has created? The journey they start won't be the one they finish.Technium defies the conventions of the dystopian genre by combining romance, humor and lyrical meditations on the America that once was and might one day be. It consists of two volumes, The Brothers Of Redemption and A Daughter Of Her People.
