The Website: Genre-blending techno crime triller

Who is running Lekhage, and at what hidden cost to the island’s children—and what will an underestimated investigator risk to bring the whole structure down?

Saskia’s small. She knows that fact will buy her less notice and more underestimation—both useful when you’re trying to slip past egos, bad wiring and the sort of men who teach children to lie.

Called in by Interpol after new images of pale, purple‑eyed children are traced to an island called Si'Empra, Saskia finds a country that reads like a fable: a city carved into rock, a guild system older than the law, a drug the tunnels exhale and a bird that grieves for the sick. The line between tourist bliss and a marketplace for the monstrous turns out to be thinner than anyone imagined.

She’s asked to be discreet. She’s asked to keep her work separate from the island’s finance hub. She’s asked to trust people she’s already seen lying. But when the darknet marketplace Lekhage starts to vanish its tracks, the only clock she has is the children’s. How far will she go to save them—and what will she expose in doing so?
