Summary
She was looking straight up. The lights were still beaming down, haloing her in the darkness of the under-stage. The lights were intensely bright, but as she took a moment to try to slow her adrenaline, they suddenly seemed far away.
Then the world, for one brief, merciful second, went white. The world didn’t stay merciful.
Indescribable pain radiated through Mira’s left leg. Far worse than she’d ever experienced before. No training session, no blow from schoolyard bullies, no strike from a demon had ever felt like this. It traveled up her body like fire and electricity and grief in a roar.
Mira screamed.
A year after they remade the Honmoon--after they've remade themselves--Mira experiences an accident. The stage crumbles underneath her, steel supports shearing away, and she slips through the hole in the stage flooring. They find her in the wreckage after, alive, but grievously hurt.
She didn't expect to lose her leg in the process.
Or to have to struggle with learning to dance again.
But she's always defied people's expectations, and she's not going to stop now.
With Rumi and Zoey by her side, she finds a way to flourish again.
