Sight
by David Bruns
It’s been months since the six refugees fled the dystopian Community
of Sindra, and already the Joined adults are showing signs of sickness.
In their search for a new home, time is not their ally.
A routine
planetary survey goes horribly wrong, leaving a native boy near death.
In a desperate attempt to save his life, the boy is given a transfusion
of Sariah’s blood—and the crew makes an amazing discovery.
Sariah
is adopted into the boy’s clan as the Fountain of Dreams, the mysterious
girl from the stars who brought them the gift of dreams. But
superstitions run deep in the clan and not everyone is happy with the
new freedoms, especially Nisador, the tribe’s Sacred Mother.
Sariah learns the ways of the clan are harsh—even deadly.
