About this ebook
Miranda doesn't want to be different. On Gale, being different can get you killed. When her seizures began, Miranda tried to keep her abnormality secret. But then the visions started—ominous hallucinations of strange lights in the sky, an otherworldly monster with wings like a dragon, and a girl who appeared from the clouds like a bolt of lightning. Despite the ever-present threat of the Watch, Miranda is determined to find out what the visions mean. Little does she know that the answers might lead her to freedom...
This sci-fi update of Shakespeare's "The Tempest" was originally published in the anthology Perchance to Dream: Classic Tales From the Bard's World in New Skins.

I thought that this was a really cool short story that did a great job of injecting some depth to the characters and building good conflict in the little time it had. The genre is sci-fi dystopian with paranormal and mystery thrown in. The story isn't a romance but Miranda does connect to another female character in a way that is open to an f/f relationship interpretation (which was my preference).
Definitely recommend.
