A synopsis of this year's National Novel Writing Month project.

Branded

Aidenn Connall has wakened in a hospital, unable to remember what happened, where she is and where she's been…or who she is. The first days are spent in a haze of pain and confusion. Voices and images begin to dominate her conscious and unconscious hours. They are explained away as brain trauma from an accident. But the visions are more real to her than the life-supporting machinery and doctors and nurses surrounding her.

Soon the caregivers around her begin to distance themselves from a patient they are convinced is unhinged. But she knows she is painfully sane. Something in Aidenn’s memory is trying to claw its way out, and it becomes more demanding every day.

Mayson Denning comes across a horrible accident in the small hours of the morning, finding the driver half-dead, trapped in a twisted coffin of steel. As a nurse, it’s her duty to stop and give aid. The moment she touches the victim, she hears a voice she is convinced belongs to the driver and sees visions of terrible events. They plague her as she continues her care of Aidenn who has been delivered to the trauma center where she works.

Mayson also questions Aidenn's sanity, but  becomes aware of shadows and plots that are coalescing around her and Aidenn.

It becomes plain there is a connection woven between Mayson and Aidenn from the moment they find each other by the side of the road. Together, they must piece together the shattered remnants of Aidenn’s memory and learn the meanings of the visions they are suffering, before a dark plan overtakes them.
