Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this ebook for review purposes. Opinions are 100% my own.I love a great story that takes one outside the box of conventional storytelling. Orla, the main character, is desperate, alone and scared by her ability to phase through space from one place to another because it is physically painful and she can't control this power. She had to leave her family in order to protect them from the Feds, who hunt those of her kind with fierce determination to eradicate them. However, after one such phasing, she lands near a caravan of people who live on the outside of the city walls. This caravan travels to many settlements, selling items (some contraband) to survive. To her surprise, Etti (one of the leaders of the caravan) offers to help Orla learn to control her gift in exchange for Orla's services, namely phasing with the purpose of bringing items back to the caravan that are needed in the settlements they visit. Orla is suspicious, but gives the caravan life a chance. Will she find a new family, a new sense of "home" with these newcomers to her life. Well, the novella ends well, but I will leave it to the reader to take the journey along with Orla to see how it turns out. Great read that one can buy with confidence!
