MG/YA Latine scifi/fantasy

Set in a small city in the barren wasteland of earth, where the Pocatelan elite oppress the Cascabel, forcing them to work for nothing but so-called protection from the spirits and wyrms outside their ‘safe’ city

a 13yo pickpocket and his sister try to survive, but when she’s caught stealing a strawberry, he takes the fall, to be exiled

but his exile involves his consciousness being put inside an ancient drone and sent into the wilderness - where he discovers all is not what it seems, and he might be able to save everyone from his city with the truth
