Thora has been trapped in a cramped jail cell for nearly half a year. A tiny skylight is the only way she knows time is passing—and the only thing still keeping her sane. A complex web of ruthless leaders and family all seem to want something from her, but will she be able to figure out what she needs to do in time?

From the publisher: “Over the course of 2023, a select group of young writers was invited to take part in a year-long writing program at Story Factory. Their goal was to produce a fully realised novella. This is one of the novellas produced in these workshops.”
