Fire at Dawn

“That day, I was lying in a hospital bed. I was cold, surrounded by darkness. It wasn't light outside either. Only the morning star hung precariously in the sky, as if it could fall at any moment. Later, they threw me into the dead grass below the embankment. It was warm enough, though, because a raging fire had started. I lay in the blazing flames and watched the firelight illuminate the dawn.” [A mystery with two female leads: revenge, defiance, salvation, and rebirth.] [An alternate-world setting.
