About this ebook

HE HAS CALLED TO HER ALL HER LIFE, BUT SHE COULD NEVER REPLY. . .

The brand new haunting, gothic, sci-fi novella from Meg Smitherman . . .

Midonia, a freelance interplanetary transporter, is on thin ice after a fatal accident on the job.
So she doesn’t argue when she’s given the tedious task of flying devout Sister Irena to a remote fringe planet, where a tiny religious colony worships a strange deity called Anguish.

Until now.

When a solar flare grounds her ship, Midonia finds herself stuck with the cult-like sisters. Even worse, he comes to her in the night, his familiar voice louder than ever. He invades her mind with his hunger, sparking a ravenous obsession that will be near-impossible to escape.
