Abandoned by the world around her, Carly believes she is fated to a life of torment at the hands of her stepfather and is desperate for an escape. When she can bear the abuse no longer and gives in to a thunderous rage, she suddenly finds herself in an unfamiliar, yet beautiful, storm world. This limbo between dimensions appears to be her private sanctuary, but it may just be her purgatory.
No one escapes fate without sacrifice, but is the price more than Carly is willing to pay?
I have always been obsessed with the storms of coastal North Carolina, where I grew up. I love the way the world looks at night when it is lit up by lightning. It always felt like a glimpse into an alternate dimension. I wanted to create a place that always looked like that. Everything else fell into place along the way there.
