The Interrogation of Ashala Wolf by Ambelin Kwaymullina

This book is set in a future after an ecological collapse. The world has been reshaped, and people have made a commitment to live within the Balance. There are many laws to help uphold the balance to limit things like technology (which can psychologically distance us from the environment), weapons, and use of natural resources. There are also laws to prevent people with Abilities from disrupting the Balance - mostly by locking them up and inhibiting them from using those abilities.

Ashala and other illegal runaways make up the Tribe. They believe that there is a place for them within the Balance, and that their existence is not a threat. Ashala has been captured - can she protect the Tribe from her own interrogation?
