One blind girl must defy an empire to find her destiny.

Mila used to be a perfect citizen. Born to a modest merchant family, she worked to improve both her own and her family's position. Just when she thought her future secure, she wakes blinded and damaged, touched by dreams.

Now living in one of the compounds set up for those deemed flawed, she struggles to survive the harsh conditions as she toils for the very same empire that sent her there.

When a sandstorm blows into her small corner of the world, bringing with it her dreams made flesh—creatures of feathers and fur and myth—she will need to find a courage that has been nearly stripped from her. And if she can do that, she may just find her true destiny... and love.
