Iceso is a wealthy water mogul. Deami is an orphan struggling to care for her brothers. The two have known each other for years, and it seems only Iceso can save Deami--is the price she has to pay for water worth it?
This is not a love story. This is a struggle story. And tough decisions lurk around every corner.
Can Deami save her brothers? Or will the desert kill her like it has so many others?
The desert is not forgiving. Nor are its people.

When confronted with an impossible choice, how do you justify your decision? Lise is a dweller, a person who can influence her dreams in a world where dreams are a reflection of humanity's perception. She pursues a pack of nightmare beasts, called fiends, which live in the collective dream and feed off the minds of the vulnerable. Her little sister is hounded by these creatures into running away from home and spreads them wherever she goes like a plague. Lise must find a way to resolve a conflict of motivation. Save the innocent and risk losing her sister or leave the people to their fate in order to reach her in time. Whatever her answer, there is darkness ahead. Her eyes may never again be colored by the dawn. - This story takes place in a world where the day-night cycle spans the rough equivalent of a year. Years are divided into 4 quadrants: the first and fourth are the night quarters, the second and third are when the sun is visible in the sky. This is not explained explicitly in the text. Chapters are relatively short and can generally be read in 10-25 minutes. - Read chapters early on my website: https://www.distortedsense.com/
