Description

Wattys Shortlist 2022! | Kyla Shepard, a sixteen-year-old orphan who conjures massive ink-like creatures with her thoughts, must learn to tame the monsters before they consume everything in their path, including her. **** While surviving in the blackened two-mile radius within the quiet city dubbed The Scalded, Kyla Shepard befriends fellow survivors, Lilac and Hermit, who attempt to help her tame her imaginings before they run rampant and destroy everything with a pulse, including them. But when a group of city men infiltrate The Scalded to kill anything living and take back the land, Kyla attempts to fight fire with fire by training her imaginings to defend the place she calls home. As the monsters grow in strength, her attempts to tame the beasts might not only place the city and its residents in danger but cause her to lose the one thing she needs to succeed ... her power. **** Inspired by the short story Make It Stop by L.L. Sanders. Read the twisted tale on my profile! **** Copyright©2020 by L.L. Sanders
