The Chimeric Weave [EPUB ebook] 
Legacy of Shaka Zulu

Beneath the glittering spires of Umoya City, a shining beacon of biotechnological advancement, lies a seething undercurrent of forgotten power.  In this dazzling metropolis, the privileged elite, sculpted by gene editing into paragons of beauty and intellect, reign supreme.  But in the city’s pulsating underbelly, amongst the descendants of the Zulu nation, whispers of ancient traditions and techno-spiritual energy ignite a spark of rebellion.
Sihle, a young biohacker with a talent for manipulating the very biological circuitry of Umoya City, is haunted by the disappearance of her mother, a brilliant scientist who delved into the forbidden realm of the Chimeric Weave – a fusion of DNA and ancestral energy. The discovery of her mother’s hidden laboratory unlocks a legacy Sihle never imagined.
Within the lab’s secrets, Sihle awakens the dormant power of the Chimeric Weave, a power that resonates with the spirit of Shaka Zulu, the legendary warrior king.  As ancestral energy surges through her veins, Sihle gains the ability to command the city’s biological infrastructure, turning the tools of oppression against their creators. The genetically engineered flora of the elite withers at her touch, while the resilient plants of the undercity flourish with newfound vigor.
Guided by a seasoned activist and fueled by the echoes of forgotten power, Sihle ignites a rebellion against the ruling elite.  But not all who offer guidance are allies.  A charismatic representative of the corporations sees in Sihle a means to quell the unrest, a tool to solidify their control.
As the city descends into a battleground of genetic engineering and ancestral power, Sihle faces a moral dilemma. The Chimeric Weave offers unimaginable power, but threatens to consume her, to erase her identity beneath the weight of Shaka Zulu’s spirit.  The fight for freedom becomes a deeply personal struggle for balance, a quest to honor her ancestry while forging her own destiny.
Uncover the secrets of the Chimeric Weave and join the fight for Umoya City’s soul in a breathtaking Afrofuturist thriller where science and spirituality collide, where heritage and progress intertwine, and where the echoes of the ancestors guide the way towards a future free from oppression.
