Fearfully UnMade

Falling snow. A stranger. A needle. A world turned upside down. That's all Taite can remember when she wakes up alone and disoriented in a desert. 

Lost and confused, Taite is desperate to return home to her over-protective father and the dull life she had once hoped to escape. Crossing paths with a suspicious girl, Taite accepts an invitation to join her as she travels to meet her brother. A means to an end, Taite's only goal is to find a way home as soon as possible. A goal she may never reach. 

Entrenched in their own rebellion, the brother and sister lead Taite on a journey that will change her forever. She doesn't know if she can trust them, but believing them means accepting her life has been a lie. Believing them means home may be light years away. Believing them might be the only way she can survive past seventeen. 

In the first half of this duology, a teenage girl in the not-so distant future finds herself in a new reality where her own identity and sanity is under question. Previously published under the title Duratio under a pseudonym before undergoing revisions.
